Yes. I was able to get Evusheld. I'm immune compromised to an extreme as we attempt to stop my vasculitus (I had my second flare ~3 weeks ago). I was told I'm due for another booster, however, it'd be pointless ... since I don't have any "b" cells.
Before my disease started, I had both vaccinations and had been boosted. Although I had some kind of cold when my disease started, I was COVID negative and an anti-body test later (for a shell protein?, not the spike protein) showed that I had not been recently infected. All my family members are vaccinated. I live in a big city. The positivity rate here has gone up immensely the last few weeks. My child's school just had a super-spreader event that infected a large number of kids and teachers. So many now have just given up and are going for herd immunity. I've heard otherwise reasonable people say: "well, if they aren't vaccinated by now, nothing we can do about it" as a justification for moving forward with policies that will cause spread of COVID.
I do hope you find safety. Really not much thought goes into protecting those who cannot be vaccinated, or those whom the vaccination would be pointless.
