Your question raises a question fir me. If I am going to travel, would a doctor give me a prescription so I can carry the Paxlovid with me?

Yes, that is my question also. I think (don't know) that the answer is NO. Paxlovid (which only has emergency approval from FDA at the moment as far as I know) criteria are individual at high risk of serious disease and with positive Covid test. Also, one must consider other medications that one is taking at the time - need to stop or not.
