  IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Infusion sites displayed in this tool have been authorized to administer antibody treatments for COVID-positive patients under Emergency Use Authorization, but their inclusion in this tool does not imply current availability of doses. These antibody therapies are restricted to certain high-risk patients and require a drug order (similar to a prescription) from a Health Care Provider (HCP) for eligible patients. HCPs must verify eligibility of their patients and verify the availability of doses at an authorized infusion site before they refer an eligible patient to schedule an appointment to receive treatment at an authorized infusion site.
