COVID-19 Drug Paxlovid Available At “Paxmobile” In Nassau
Adhi Sharma, MD, President of Mount Sinai South Nassau, discusses one part of a wider effort to help communities where residents have struggled since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to get tested and vaccinated via its mobile medical service. He said, "Anyone who wants treatment can come here. Previously it was reserved for high-risk patients, but right now we can treat anyone if they're feeling sick and have COVID. The site can test anyone feeling symptomatic or provide a prescription for anyone who tested positive at home. The five-day pair of medications is designed to reduce the symptoms of COVID-19 and lead to a faster recovery.”
