The emergency use authorization for REGEN-COV (a combination of two monoclonal antibodies, casirivimab and imdevimab) has been revised to include postexposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 in adults and children 12 years of age and older who, if they become COVID-19 positive, are at high risk for severe disease.Prophylaxis with REGEN-COV is not a substitute for vaccination against COVID-19.
REGEN-COV(两种单克隆抗体 casirivimab 和 imdevimab 的组合)的紧急使用授权已修订,将其纳入用于 COVID-19 的暴露后预防,适用人群为成年人和 12 岁及以上儿童,如果他们 COVID-19 检测呈阳性,则有发生重症疾病的高风险。使用 REGEN-COV 进行预防并非 COVID-19 疫苗接种的替代品。
