212 - Providing Hope: Evusheld Administration for COVID-19 Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in Vulnerable Patient Populations

10:30 AM - 11:30 AM EDT
Thursday, April 13, 2023Room: Osceola AB
Overview

In 2022, the FDA issued emergency use authorization for administration of Evusheld, comprised of two monoclonal antibody medications that help minimize the risk of severe COVID-19 disease in immunocompromised patients. Once Evusheld became available, nurses at a large academic medical center researched the medication and conducted education on safety, efficacy, and administration. Shortly thereafter, administration of Evusheld was implemented within the existing special pathogens clinic and offered to physician-identified patients with the highest risk of severe COVID-19 infection for whom the vaccine would be ineffective. This session discusses the patient response and efficacy in preventing COVID-19 infection in the patients who have received it.
