Evusheld
(asked on 7th November 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether Evusheld will be available to NHS patients before Christmas.
This question was answered on 22nd November 2022
The Government has decided not to procure Evusheld for prevention through emergency routes at this time. This decision is based on independent clinical advice by the multi-agency RAPID C-19 and a United Kingdom national expert policy working group, which reflects 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, which is due in April 2023.
