Reports on Tuesday detailed the authorization made last week, which said those with compromised immune systems could receive the optional treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to know that for people who do not respond well to vaccines, including those who do not make antibodies, we can now help protect them against getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 by giving them antibodies following exposure,\u201d said Dr. Ghady Haidar, a transplant infectious diseases physician at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday expanded its emergency use authorization for the antibody cocktail from Regeneron, making it the first preventive therapy authorized for unvaccinated and immunocompromised people in high-risk settings. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CFNC4uduRT\">https:\/\/t.co\/CFNC4uduRT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A5lcOEwK9l\">pic.twitter.com\/A5lcOEwK9l<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WebMD (@WebMD) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WebMD\/status\/1421508459934126095?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 31, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Experts said the antibodies prevent illness by overwhelming the infection while it\u2019s still in the nose or throat.
