@mjq, there's a related discussion about Evusheld here:
- Just approved: Evusheld for the pre-exposure prevention of COVID-19 https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/evusheld/

In addition to Ginger, @cehunt57 @raphyboi @jennifer0726 have either received Evusheld or are looking into it and may be able to offer further advice.

@mjq I was able to receive Evusheld late February locally. I had checked with my kidney transplant team at Mayo and they recommended I get it in my state. At Mayo Rochester they were doing sort of a lottery for doses for eligible Minnesota residents as it is distributed by state. They did not have enough supply at that time. However, in my local city I was approved very quickly after referral by my PCP. I would try to get a referral to a smaller city within your state that has doses. Only two hospitals in my city had them. There is a website for Evusheld for more information.

@cehunt57 chiming in here. I am post transplant (pancreas) and have immune suppression to protect the transplant from rejection. I received an email in late February that I had been chosen to receive Evusheld. I had an appointment with my endocrinologist around that time and asked about Evusheld. My endocrinologist did not know anything about it. In March I got a 4th COVID vaccine dose. In April I had a nephrology appointment and asked my nephrologist about Evusheld. My nephrologist said it would be an extra layer of protection for me and recommended that I get it. I followed a link on the initial email I received and was able to schedule an appointment for Evusheld. I got it on 4/13. It was given locally (Twin Cities metro area of MN) at the cancer center affiliated with my health care system. There were 2 medications given by injection (1 in each buttock). I don’t recall having to get a prescription or Dr.’s order. I did not experience any side effects other than very slight “pains in the butt”, literally.
