Paxlovid and Remdesiver look the early favourites, Sotrovimab loosing ground due to BA-2 and Molupirivar an outsider at best.
Shame we have more courses of Molupiriver than Paxlovid.
Still it appears the Maiden (Evusheld) would be in with strong chance (early data shows effectiveness against all variants) if allowed to enter the race.
Let’s hope the Government get the Stewards enquiry out the way quickly and there is still a supply readily available.
Its all very well being offered treatment if you get covid but how do you access the treatment jf you are away on holiday? We are going to Cyprus for 11 days next month. I just hope i dont catch it. I would feel better protected if i could have a shot of Evushel before i go. I have just read an article in the Sunday paper saying you can get it if you pay £800. Has anyone heard about this?
The article is incorrect in stating that you can get Evusheld privately. That isn’t currently possible as all Covid treatments in the U.K. are managed through the NHS. Also no Evusheld stock has yet been bought by this Govt/NHS.
Hooray - 10262 signatures and the numbers are accelerating!!! Now a response is triggered, but
PLEASE keep pushing to ensure that the Government takes the 500,000 immunocompromised seriously so we can resume 'normal life…
Almost everyone will know someone with
• Motor neurone disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Down’s syndrome
• Solid organ transplant recipients
• HIV/AIDS
• Myasthenia gravis
• Immune deficiencies
• Immune-mediated inflammatory disorders (IMID)
• Liver disease
• Renal disease
• Haematological diseases
• Sickle cell
• Stem cell transplant recipients
• Solid cancer
So keep spreading the word - we only need 90k more signatures to get this addressed in Parliament…
Hi @ilivesunshine hope you’re doing okay - we are not currently aware of this being available for private use in the UK. If it ever did become available, we’d anticipate the cost being significantly higher as the quote of £800 is only representative of the drug price not the total cost of treatment. Please be assured we are discussing this with our clinical networks and will update our information if we hear more on this topic.
With regards to going abroad, you may want to read our updated section titled ‘What if I want to Travel of Go on Holiday?’ on our webpage here.
Thank you. I do most of the things mentioned in the article. We are going to Cypress soon. As far as i can see Molnupiravir and and the drug youmentioedare available in Cypress. I certainly will be taking the letter saying i am eligible with me as j did when we went to Spain last month. Thankfully not needed.
It will be more tricky when we go on cruise for 80 days next year, thats if it sails i have contacted the cruise company to see if they will have any on board. They said they are trying to get some but have not been successful yet as only available to NHS.
I am sure i won’t be the only person on board who may need them so just hoping they can get some They said to ring nearer the time for an update.
