Preventive Treatment for Immunocompromised Individuals

• Who are not currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 and who have not had a known recent exposure to an individual infected with SARS-CoV-2 and
• Who have moderate to severe immune compromise due to a medical condition or receipt of immunosuppressive medications or treatments and may not mount an adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination or
• For whom vaccination with any available COVID-19 vaccine, according to the approved or authorized schedule, is not recommended due to a history of severe adverse reaction (e.g., severe allergic reaction) to a COVID-19 vaccine(s) and/or COVID-19 vaccine component(s).

Who is able to get Evusheld: Anyone who meets the medical criteria outlined above may be eligible for the prevention treatment. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A DOHC MEMBER.

Where: DOHC will initially be administering Evusheld in our existing COVID-19 vaccine clinics in Indio and Palm Springs.

How: Administration involves two Intramuscular (IM) injections at the same visit every 6 months. Recipients must wait 2 weeks after their most recent COVID-19 vaccination to receive injections and should complete their primary 3 dose series of Pfizer or Moderna or complete Janssen (J&J) primary series in addition to their booster prior to receiving Evusheld. Patients should bring their vaccine cards or electronic proof of vaccination.

Cost: There is no cost to the patient, but we request they bring their insurance cards for billing purposes.
