The Government has decided not to procure Evusheld for prevention through emergency routes at this time. This is a decision based on independent clinical advice by multi-agency RAPID C-19 and a United Kingdom national expert policy working group which considered the epidemiological context and pandemic response and recovery policies. However, we have referred Evusheld to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for evaluation.
