The White House is pushing to get Paxlovid, a drug which reduces the risk of COVID hospitalization by 90%, into the hands of more Americans. The drug's rollout has been slow, failing to reach many Americans eligible for treatment.
President Biden is seen delivering remarks on COVID-19 on March 30. On Tuesday, the White House will announce a new push to get more doses of the COVID antiviral medication Paxlovid to more Americans.
The rollout of the medication has been slow since it was authorized for use in December, failing to reach many Americans eligible for treatment. Many pharmacies have not yet been able to stock the drug and some physicians have been hesitant to prescribe it over concerns about depleting the supply — which the White House now describes as “ample.”
