The Inova Extended COVID-19 Care Clinics are accepting referrals for patients from all Inova Emergency Rooms, Inova Urgent Care Centers, Inova Primary Care Offices, as well as community practices.
Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful antigens such as viruses. The monoclonal antibody infusions offered specifically target the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, designed to block the virus’ attachment and entry into human cells.
Infusion treatment – also known as IV therapy – involves administering medications intravenously. This is done by injecting a needle directly into the patient’s arm. This allows for much more efficient treatment since it delivers medicine directly into the bloodstream.
