Please consider joining ‘Evusheld for the UK’ on Facebook. We are trying to join together to support each other and also have a joined up targeted response/action plan to push the Government for access to Evusheld for those the Covid vaccine is not protecting. Thank you.

Developed by AstraZeneca, Evusheld is a combination of two long-acting antibodies that works by binding to the spike protein on the outside of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19. This in turn prevents the virus from attaching to and entering human cells.

Evusheld is authorised to be used before being exposed to the risk of COVID-19 infection in order to prevent disease (known as ‘pre-exposure prophylaxis’).” NHS Website.

What are the risks?

What’s the agenda with big pharma?

Do we need this?🧐

Who selects for this treatment or do we select?

Hi Tinskie.I came on here to see if anyone is saying anything about Evusheld but it just doesn’t seem to be being talked about. I’m already a member of the Evusheld 4 UK group on Facebook as well as following them on twitter. We really need to raise awareness of this. As someone on rituximab I’ve been told I won’t get a great response from vaccination.

I know. I’m surprised it has such a low profile on here. I’m sure there must be quite a few on Rituximab like us - or other immunosuppressants that are also likely to impact on the effectiveness of the vaccines. I have no antibodies after 4 vaccines - taking Rituximab every 6 months. We are desperate as a family for Evusheld as we are still pretty much shielding and feel like life is still on hold. Evusheld 4 the UK are doing a fab job and I hope this will raise awareness. There is at least more media coverage now than there has been. 🙏🏼
