Pfizer's Covid-19 Pill Is so Hard to Get

The U.S. Department of Health & Human ServicesInitial allocations were approximately 65,000 Paxlovid treatments for the United States and U.S. Territories. “An additional 200,000 courses are expected in January, ramping up steadily in the months ahead,”The department was confirmed.

Dr. Sarah Doernberg of University of California San Francisco Medical Center told NPR, “I think people think that all of a sudden it’s approved, so everyone will have it. And there’s this whole process of the medication getting allocated and then getting sent to the hospitals. And then you have to link it to the electronic prescribing and these are new medications. There’s all these safety issues that have to be checked.”She said, “And so it’s a complex process.”

The supply of the medication is very limited as of writing. This means that even though you have been given the medication, it might be difficult to locate it. “It’s not going to be at every pharmacy by any stretch,” Kurt Proctor, senior vice president of strategic initiatives at the National Community Pharmacists Association, told NPR.
