Has Anyone Used Evusheld - Any Side Effects Or Issues With It ? Any Other Preventative Meds Used Besides The Covid Shots ?
I'm going to a trade show in Sept. and possibly another in Oct.
I'm still immune compromised and its probably going to be a long time before my immune system will recover. Due to Covid, I've mostly been working from home but not exclusively - food shopping, restaurants, recently movies again, and endless doctor, PT, and now gym visits, etc.
Being on a plane and in close contact to thousands of people at a trade show is a whole new level of exposure that concerns me.
Thanks
Evusheld is a pair of shots that provides up to 6 months of protection against catching Covid. It is not a Vaccine. It is not a mRNA or similar tech which requires the immune system to generate a response. Since people with MM have compromised immune systems, we can not produce the results that a vaccine requires. Evusheld provides temporary protection without using the immune system for support (I believe). Search the net - there’s a detailed write up.
Here's a very good article as to what it is and how it works.

Evusheld is a combination of two human monoclonal antibodies, tixagevimab and cilgavimab which targets the surface spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus otherwise known as Covid-19. It is FDA approved for immunocompromised patients like those with MM. Its effectiveness wanes after a number of months, so injections need to be repeated every 6 months.
Hi Donna - Yes, I expect you’re correct about losing it. In my case I haven’t had a transplant - no plans unless the future mandates the need, which I consider to be very unlikely.
Evusheld is FDA approved for myeloma patients. Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance should cover the cost👍
I took both Evusheld injections and had no side effects.
God bless🙏✝️
