The Barnstable Patriot HYANNIS Cape Cod Hospital, in partnership with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announced Wednesday that it has expanded access to monoclonal antibody therapy (mAb) and will administer the treatment at a new mobile unit at the hospital. Positioned near the COVID -19 testing site, the temporary clinic will help patients that have tested positive for COVID-19 receive immediate treatment. The promising mAb therapy has been shown to keep high-risk COVID-19 patients out of the hospital. The temporary mAb unit is available Monday through Saturday between 1 and 6 p.m. To confirm eligibility for the treatment, patients should contact their primary care provider.
