COVID-19 Treatment

Are treatments available for COVID-19?

Yes! For people with certain underlying medical conditions, treatment with monoclonal antibodies is safe and effective at preventing hospitalization. This treatment is free though NYC Health + Hospitals, even if you do not have insurance.

If you are moderately or severely immunocompromised or unable to get vaccinated because you are allergic to the vaccine, talk to your doctor about Evusheld — an injectable drug that increases your protection against COVID-19.
