In clinical trials, Evusheld showed it could help prevent COVID infection by more than 70 percent, but there are not enough supplies to go around.
Monoclonal antibody treatment Evusheld has shown it could help prevent a COVID-19 infection before it ever happens, but supplies are extremely limited and it's only available for a specific demographic.
Evusheld is only available for people over the age of 12 who are moderately or severely immunocompromised due to a medical condition or because of medication they're taking that suppresses their immune response. This means they may not mount an adequate immune response after being vaccinated against COVID-19, putting them at a greater risk of developing serious illness or dying.
