“These new oral antivirals add new tools to our toolbox to keep people with COVID-19 out of the hospital,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike.
“While vaccination, including boosters, is still the best way to avoid infection and prevent severe illness from COVID-19, these new antivirals given emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration can help treat those who get infected and have a higher risk of becoming severely ill.”IDPH said it is working with pharmacies statewide to offer both antiviral drugs, which are being provided for free by the federal government.
That’s the estimate we need right now,” Mr. Biden said, noting the pills will dramatically decrease hospitalizations and deaths. “… They’re a game changer.”A senior administration official told CBS News producing the pills takes a long time because of its complex synthetic manufacturing process. The federal government’s order is in the process of being manufactured, and the official said the government is getting the pills as soon as they come off the production line.
