The Antivirals and Therapeutics Taskforce regularly engages with international partners on the use, deployment and evaluation of therapeutics and antivirals, including Evusheld. This includes discussions with the United States Food and Drug Administration on its recent treatment guidelines which state that emerging Omicron sub-variants are likely to be resistant to Evusheld.
