How long do all 7 of us have to quarantine?

Thank you so much for all the information you have provided. I appreciate the quick replies. My husband has CLL and is a patient of the Mayo Rochester. He has and continues to have wonderful care there. He was the third in line that was infected. He was the first to be prescribed Regeneron by urgent care when diagnosed as positive ( also fully vaccinated by Pfizer) He still has a cough. He feels it helped. I didn’t see that much of an improvement. I went back to urgent care 2 days later with a right nostril and right ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillin. I am into my third day of this medication. I’m not sure why we were prescribed the infusion after your information.

I'm glad to hear that your husband was fully vaccinated and seems to be responding well to REGEN-COV. You're correct that the FDA recently revised the use of REGEN-COV. "REGEN-COV remains authorized for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death."

It makes sense that your husband with leukemia was given REGEN-COV. You may also wish to join the Blood Cancers & Disorders group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/blood-cancers-disorders/
