Feds begin Regeneron shipment to states
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced they have begun to ship the the first batch of Regeneron’s antibody treatment to hospitals across the country.
President Donald Trump was treated with Regeneron when he was hospitalized with the coronavirus in the beginning of October.
The treatment is authorized for use for patients 12 and older with mild to moderate COVID-19 but are at higher risk of getting very sick. Health care providers will decide who gets access to the drug based on need, according to HHS officials.
The federal government provided around 30,000 doses to the hospitals so far and will ship tens of thousands more in the weeks to come, according to officials.
