This is most welcome news...urgently needed. Thanks @NICEComms

The EU approved #Evusheld for use in March 2022...that's almost a year where people achieved a degree of parity.
V concerned that remdesivir and sotrovimab may be withdrawn, however...🙄

On the day Evusheld is ruled out by NICE for immunosuppressed people in the UK here are my quick first thoughts https://vivdunstan.dreamwidth.org/355735.html With a link through from there to the full NICE announcement. #Covid #immunosuppressed #immunocompromised #UK #Evusheld #NHS #NICE

RT @benryanwriter
Counsel from the CDC on what #immunocompromised people should do to mitigate their Covid risks now that #Evusheld isn't particularly effective against the latest Omicron sub-strains. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7205e3.htm?s_cid=mm7205e3_e&ACSTrackingID=USCDC_921-DM98280&ACSTrackingLabel=MMWR%20Early%20Release%20-%20Vol.%2071%2C%20January%2027%2C%202023&deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM98280

Tomorrow #NICE will announce whether the preventative #Covid #antibody treatment #Evusheld will be rolled out via the #NHS to #immunosuppressed people like me who have a reduced response to #vaccines. I am lucky I have some antibodies now, after 6 Covid vaccines. Many immunosuppressed have none. I am not optimistic NICE will approve it. But hope they will. It could transform the lives of people who vaccines do little to protect. It has been used for these patient groups in many other countries.

CDC urges people with weak immune systems to take extra precautions after Covid subvariants knock out Evusheld https://cnb.cx/3Dn7NBo
What should people with the weak immune systems do?
How will Evusheld be effective?

Dem #Corona-Medikament #Evusheld wird in den USA die Notzulassung vorerst entzogen, weil es offenbar nicht gegen die #Omikron-Subvariante #XBB15 wirkt. Das teilte die US-Arzneimittelbehörde FDA mit. XBB.1.5 breitet sich derzeit auch in Deutschland aus. https://www.t-online.de/gesundheit/krankheiten-symptome/coronavirus/id_100119296/corona-medikament-xbb-1-5-us-behoerde-entzieht-notzulassung.html

#Covid19: A British #Immunocompromised
woman who shielded for 2.5 years has spent more than £2,000 buying a drug privately to improve her immunity

#Evusheld is available in 32 countries but not in UK’s #NHS

“This is completely unacceptable to patients”

According to NIH, 91% of #Covid19 in the USA is resistant to EvuSheld. So #EvuSheld no longer protects immunocompromised patients.

.@NIH is finally leveling with #immunocompromised Americans, #EvuSheld no longer protects us because, according to NIH's math, 91% of #covid19 in the U.S. is resistant to EvuSheld.

My estimate was 83% ⤵️

“Many scientists are worried that #Evusheld will become useless by November or December. This is concerning because the pipeline for new antiviral pills and monoclonal antibodies to treat COVID is running dry w/o a guaranteed purchaser to ensure a market.”

About 10 minutes ago, I tested positive for COVID. I’ve begun antiviral therapy.

@HHSgov@twitter.com is too cowardly to say it, so I reiterate: #EvuSheld no longer offers us immunocompromised people meaningful protection.

No more Covid data. Is Covid over then? No. And for 500,000 #immunochallenged it's no bloody joke. #Evusheld would be great...

Some protection with #Evusheld would have been the best Xmas 🎁 ever for those #Forgotten500k who don't make antibodies from vaccines, but #Scrooge said NO didn't he @SteveBarclay@twitter.com?
So, condemned to another sad, cold Xmas.
