The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for Pemgarda (pemivibart) for the pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 in certain adults and adolescents.
Pemgarda is authorized for individuals:
- who are not currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 and who have not had a known recent exposure to an individual infected with SARS-CoV-2;
- and who have moderate-to-severe immune compromise due to a medical condition or due to taking immunosuppressive medications or treatments and are unlikely to mount an adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination.
