As COVID-19 cases surge in Oregon and across the country, we must utilize every tool at our disposal to stop the Delta variant and end the pandemic. Monoclonal antibody treatment for some COVID-19 patients can save lives and greatly reduce the burden on our hospitals and health systems. This therapy is now available in both subcutaneous and intravenous forms.
Oregon Health Authority (OHA) senior medical advisors will review how you can use monoclonal antibody treatment in your practice, as well as answer your questions.
