So over the past couple years its been a concentrated effort to have people vaxxed especially with this virus mutating and developing new strands and its been predominantly all about getting the shot. But there is another way, there’s a covid-19 antiviral pill you can take called paxlovid. The pill produced by Pfizer, was already approved for use under an FDA emergency use authorization for treatment of high-risk individuals 12 and older, including patients experiencing diabetes, cardiovascular disease or obesity.
And the U.S. has ordered enough supply of the pills for 20 million people with plans to get them to pharmacies across the country.
You would need to take three pills twice a day for five days and according to data released by Pfizer showed the treatment cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 89% if given to high-risk adults within a few days of their first symptoms.
So in the very near future you will be able to take a pill or take a shot.
