Yes, @edb1123 I heard the same thing!!
Dr. Scott Gottlieb (Former FDA Commissioner) said no more people should die of covid-19 in the United States. He said the immune suppressed community should be protected with monthly injections of monoclonal antibodies to provide the immunity protection that the vaccines can not offer that community. Every one else should be vaccinated. In addition to the monoclonal antibodies, I am also wondering if the new "soon to be approved" Merck covid antiviral pill will have a role in infection prevention for us. Thank you @colleenyoung for sending this important and timely topic to Dr. Poland! Will they notify us if there is going to be a podcast or guidance on Connect? Thank you again for jumping on this topic! Having some protection against covid would be life changing!
@edb1123 What activities are you doing? Do you ever go out to eat? Planning to get together with vaccinated friends or family for Thanksgiving? I am not sure what to do.

Yes, I have been pretty active since receiving my vaccinations. I play golf, and go to restaurants and stores, but always wearing a mask indoors. We have had a few family gatherings and plan to be together on Thanksgiving - everyone is vaccinated. However, if preventative monoclonal antibodies were suggested by Mayo, I would liver to get them as added protection.
