While there’s so much attention on the COVID vaccine, we may be forgetting about a treatment that’s helping keep certain COVID patients out of the hospital.
It’s called monocolonal antibody infusion.
Regeneron got a lot of press when it released the drug. Eli Lilly also makes the infusion.
Basically, it gives COVID patients a boost to their immune system to help fight the coronavirus, preventing it from overwhelming the body.
At the Albany Memorial Campus of St. Peter’s Health Partners, they’ve got a dedicated unit to provide this care.
