Texas is expanding the availability of COVID-19 antibody infusion centers across the state. This treatment combats the rise of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths. Texas has more than 140 providers, which offer Covid-19 antibody infusion centers. In addition, earlier this week, Governor Abbott tested positive for COVID-19 and is receiving Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment. Locally COVID-19 antibody infusion treatments are available at bothWadley Regional Medical Center and Christus St Michael Hospital with a physician’s referral.
“Governor Abbott’s doctor prescribed Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody therapy treatment, which is available at no cost to all Texans who get a doctor’s referral. It is recommended that Texans testing positive for COVID-19 seek this antibody therapeutic drug because of its effectiveness to help keep people out of hospitals. Today, the Governor announced the continued expansion of COVID-19 Antibody Infusion Centers across Texas.”
“Front-line health care workers across our state are working tirelessly to keep Texans healthy and safe. Hospitalizations can also be prevented by Texans getting the COVID-19 vaccine. To find a vaccine provider near you, visit covidvaccine.texas.gov.”
