Today I received this message from my Nephrologist. I am on the west coast so things may be different out here. “Thanks, Liz. I have talked to colleagues here and they said that only 24 doses were delivered to Oregon and it is only available for people who are in the hospital. What I have heard is that it is being administered to people who have received a fresh transplant or bone marrow transplant. It is not available for administration to people who are in the outpatient setting. I wish I could say that it will be available to you, but at this point it's not clear when it will be more widely available.”

I agree that it is very limited, but a friend of mine who is immunosuppressed due to meds for autoimmune diseases received a dose earlier this week. I’ve submitted the necessary paperwork to my primary for her to complete. Once that is done, I would need to have a negative Covid test and then the forms can be sent to the regional hospital. I’ll receive an appointment and go in for the injection. At least that’s what happened for my friend. I’ll keep everyone apprised!
