Everyone aware of Evusheld?

Since so many of us are immunosuppressed, thought I would be sure everyone (at least in the US) is aware of Evusheld. It is available for immunosuppressed people who likely didn't respond to/develop antibodies with the Covid vaccines. It is two injections given at the same time of monoclonal antibodies that provides protection for us for approximately 6 months.

Do not think it is licensed for use but I could be wrong.

It's like the vaccines were at the start - it has an EUA, Emergency Use Authorisation, which is temporary licensing so it can be used while they gather enough data for full registration. It is known to be safe though.
