You would need to either test positive or show proof of having been exposed to someone who has COVID. This is NOT for prophylactic use.

No. You are a candidate for the injections if you have tested positive or you have been exposed. You do not need to show proof of either.

Monoclonal Antibody Therapy | Florida Department of Health COVID-19 Outbreak

Monoclonal antibody treatments can prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death in high-risk patients who have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19. These treatments are widely available in Florida.

* Treatment is free and vaccination status does not matter. If you are 12 years and older and are at high risk for severe illness due to COVID-19, you are eligible for this treatment.
* In clinical trials, monoclonal antibody treatment showed a 70% reduction in hospitalization and death.
* For high-risk patients who have been exposed to someone with COVID19, Regeneron can give you temporary immunity to decrease your odds of catching the infection by over 80%.
Went to the ER on meggison And 44. You must have a positive test for covid before getting the infusion.

Coming to this site for facts…. Classic. You’ll have no less than 20 opinions, mostly by the same folks who give their opinion on just about every topic on here.

You can have mine :icon_wink:

First of all you have to have a Positive COVID test in order to get the Regeneron treatment injections/ IV. If you test positive you can just walk in and ask for treatment BUT it has to be within 10 days of onset or contamination. You cannot get vaccinated afterwards until 90 days have past

The no proof thing is not being honored by Walgreens and CVS pharmacies as they cross examine you and one one occasion someone said they had taken a steroid. They wanted to see the prescription bottle!

Why doesn’t DeSantis push vaccination and masks to prevent COVID?. Oh wait, does he hv an interest in the monoclonal treatment? Donors, stocks, etc? Asking for a friend.

referrals are not required at any state of Florida for monoclonal antibody treatment sites and treatments are available at no cost to patients

Tell your friend that Florida (under DeSantis) had one of the best rollouts of the vaccinations. Many were vaccinated before summer and the vaccines appear to be readily available now for anyone who wants one.

Many in Florida have chosen not to get the vaccine and a large number of those are getting sick, filling hospital beds, and dying. While the vaccine is the best way to avoid the need for a hospital bed, if your friend finds (his/her)self unvaccinated and sick with Covid then the monoclonal treatment may help.

Florida is still "pushing" vaccines but they are also making monoclonal treatments available for "friends" who knew better than the scientists.

This thread is not about other locations. Brownwood only. Apples and oranges.

With all these positive COVID-19 people coming to Brownwood - maybe a good idea to steer clear of the area ?? I mean they are only there cuz they are sick !!

We couldn’t find anywhere that we could get a Covid test to confirm our suspicions that we were positive which is what we needed to get the monoclonal treatments at Brownwood. We ended up going to UFH across from Brownwood to get the Covid test confirmation and the monoclonal treatment. Going early makes a big difference in a speedier recovery. We had been vaccinated which reduced our symptoms. The weakness in the health system, in my opinion, is the initial Covid testing which is difficult to find.

Easy-peezy
 
Brother-in-law had "something" (not sure if Covid, -- tested but results not sent yet -- but exposed to others who did, thus, very likely)....so....he just "showed up" at the Brownwood site, answered their questions, and was treated: 4 injections, 1 hour "wait and see" (any adverse reactions ?) to follow, and then released.That easy.
He's feeling better...
