Evusheld Antibody Therapy

EVUSHELD Therapy is available for adults and adolescents 12 years and older who:

• Are not currently infected with COVID-19
• Who cannot receive the COVID-19 vaccine due to severe allergic reactions to vaccine components
• Are taking immunosuppressive medications for a medical condition and cannot generate an adequate immune response even after receiving all doses of the COVID-19 vaccine
• Who are immunocompromised or have been diagnosed with an immunodeficiency (genetic conditions or positive HIV status)
• Are in treatment for a solid tumor or other cancer therapies

The most common side effects of treatment include:

• Allergic reactions
• Pain, soreness, inflammation, infection, and/or bruising at the injection site

Serious side effects may occur with individuals with cardiovascular disease. A licensed medical provider can determine if the treatment is safe based on your medical history.

Before seeking EVUSHELD Treatment, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider if you:

• Have any allergies, especially allergies to previous vaccines
• Have low numbers of blood platelets (which help blood clotting), a bleeding disorder, or are taking anticoagulants (to prevent blood clots)
• Have had a heart attack or stroke, have other heart problems, or are at high risk of cardiac events
• Are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant
• Are breastfeeding a child
• Have a serious illness
• Are taking prescription or over-the-counter medications
• Are taking vitamins or herbal products

Treatment may reduce the immune response your body produces to the COVID-19 vaccine. As such, you should wait at least 2 weeks to receive an EVUSHELD injection after getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
