Monoclonal Treatment @ Brownwood Questions
 

Does anyone know what the guidelines are for being treated @ Barnstorm Theater with the monoclonal therapy? Do you have to be tested first somewhere else It looks like you have to make an appointment online. Anyone know the facts? Thanks

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%.

Per governor DeSantis direction there is a current standing order in Florida signed by the states surgeon general that allows patients to receive this treatment without a prescription or referral if administered by eligible healthcare provider.
referrals are not required at any state of Florida for monoclonal antibody treatment sites and treatments are available at no cost to patients

somewhat the same economics to you of a pro-active, ex-ante, though not perfect risk reduction method, an rMNA vaccine, versus the monoclonal antibodies after the fact, post-ante, treatment method, in hopes that one gets the treatment in time.

its all about an individual's risk preferences and choices. .

Walk-ups or online appointments are accepted. According to the people at Barnstorm, the candidates are those with a positive test and those who have been exposed, such as if your spouse has tested positive. No referrals or test results are required. I suspect a lot are breakthrough cases.

Sounds like a fantastic idea, and it may help reduce the hospital patient population. With this kind of thinking, perhaps there will be no use for the portable morgues.

Governor has tried to make things convenient in TV. However since you don’t need any documentation, one can just walk-in or make an appointment for treatment.

Same with 3rd shot you can just go to any facility that has vaccine and say you are immune compromised, no proof needed.

Wonder how many will take advantage, just because no documents are required need it or not.

We decided against going for the third shot right now even though no documentation is needed as we feel possibly we would take it away from someone who actually needs it right now.

There is no shortage of the third shot.

This station are all over the US not just here, with the same protocols

Why would anybody go and have a treatment just for the heck of it…….makes zero since
