NorthShore currently has very limited COVID therapeutic or prophylaxis treatments. Given the very small allocation we’ve been provided, we are currently distributing these to the highest category of risk patients under careful stewardship. Please contact your physician if you feel your medical condition warrants access to these treatments. If you are relying on 3rd party resources or websites for the availability of these treatments, please be aware that those sources may be inaccurate.
The CDC has expanded recommendations for additional COVID-19 doses for moderate to severe immunocompromised kids aged 5-11, and also updated guidance for other immunocompromised cohorts (see table below).
If you are immunocompromised and require an additional COVID-19 based on this guidance, please contact your doctor to schedule.
