Arkansas Child Abuse/Rape/Domestic Violence Commission issued the following announcement on Aug. 6.
Besides getting vaccinated against COVID-19, UAMS doctors say COVID-positive patients can get a special infusion to help minimize symptoms & keep people out of the hospital. It’s called Monoclonal Antibody Infusion.
We previously were doing 2 to 3 a day, now we’re doing 10 to 20 a day,” said Dare.
Dare said the procedure takes about 30 minutes. The patient is hooked up to an IV, which transfers over antibodies to help fight off COVID-19.
Dare said it is offered to patients who have a higher risk of ending up in the hospital after contracting COVID.
“If you got this treatment, you have a 1 in 100 chance of being admitted,” said Dare. “The patients who didn’t get this treatment have a 1 in 20 or 1 in 25 chance.”
