Check Vaccine Availability Frequently Asked Questions
Ochsner Health is administering a small inventory of a new injection used to prevent illness from COVID-19 in some of our most immunocompromised patients in accordance with guidelines from the FDA. Evusheld is a long-acting monoclonal antibody that received an EUA from the FDA for use as pre-exposure prophlyaxis (PrEP) of COVID-19 in adults and pediatric individuals.
Patients who are immunocompromised and who have a referral from their physician are eligible to receive Evusheld, a protective measure to prevent COVID-19 in vulnerable populations. Patients are eligible to receive Evusheld for COVID-19 exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) if they meet the following criteria:
It is very strongly recommended that patients complete the primary series of currently available COVID-19 vaccines (three doses of mRNA vaccine or equivalent). Evusheld is not intended to be a replacement for vaccination but should be used in addition to vaccination for protection against COVID-19.
Please note: Patients who have previously received a lower dose of Evusheld will be contacted to receive their “catch up” dose. Appointment scheduling to receive Evusheld is dependent upon eligibility. A referral is not a guarantee you will receive a dose of Evusheld.
Referral forms are for physician use only. Patients are not required to fill out these forms.
People are protected best from severe COVID-19 illness when they stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines, which includes getting all recommended boosters when eligible. The CDC provides information and an easy tool for learning when you are eligible for a booster on this webpage.
