211 to serve as resource for antibody treatments

0

Hoosiers seeking to learn more about where to receive monoclonal antibodies used to prevent the progression of COVID-19 may contact 211 for information.

Callers to 211 will be connected to Crush COVID, a support center managed by KPMG LLP that provides information about monoclonal antibody treatment on behalf of participating providers.

The service will locate the nearest treatment site by ZIP code. Individuals may then make their own contact for more information and how to schedule an appointment.

Nearly 100 sites across Indiana are serving as infusion centers.

Monoclonal antibody therapy is the first COVID-19 treatment granted emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for outpatient use. The therapy has been shown to help high-risk COVID-19 patients avoid hospitalization and recover at home.

To learn more, call 211.
