Where to get monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID-19

- South Florida Sun Sentinel

Monoclonal antibody clinics for COVID-19 are available throughout Florida. People who are 12 and older and at high-risk, and who have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19, are eligible for this treatment. Treatment is free and vaccinatio­n status does not matter.

Florida has a standing order signed by the state’s surgeon general that makes this treatment available without a prescripti­on or referral if administer­ed by an eligible health care provider; referrals and prescripti­ons can be used at other health care providers. The monoclonal antibody treatment delivered at the state-sponsored clinics is free to patients.

This treatment does not replace vaccines to prevent COVID-19. It does, however, help reduce the severity of the infection once a person gets a positive COVID test.

The Florida Department of Health clinics listed are open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily unless otherwise noted.
