Have you been able to get Evusheld? Or find where it is offered?

I am over 70yo, dx with MCD, taking 3mg of Tac 2X day. My PCP is affiliated with a major university hospital. According to her resource, I don’t qualify for the Evusheld treatment. I live in Cincinnati Oh, any idea on how I can get this additional protection?

@codered032 My nephrologist had turned to my oncologist and suggested I get the Evusheld shot. This was in mid-February, before they "upped" the dose to 300 from 150. So, I received the 150 dose. The cancer center I go to had 96 doses at that time. I understand there will be more availability at some point in the future, but not sure the criteria they are using. Many people have found themselves wanting the shot and not able to get it. If you look at the April 23 post from @someguyinny he lists a website you can go to and see what is in your area.
I googled "where to get Evusheld in Ohio", and got this site to look at: https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/healthcare-providers-and-local-health-districts/for-healthcare-providers/monoclonal-antibody-treatment
Do you think your medical team feels you are stronger than you realize, and are providing the shot to others, first?

@codered032 I moved your question about Evusheld to this existing discussion so you can connect with others talking about criteria for getting and where. I think @gingerw might have some experience to share about Evusheld and kidney conditions.
Codered, did your doctor explain why you don't qualify for Evusheld? Have you had 2 vaccinations and 2 booster shots?
