Loading ...Florida Seeking Monoclonal Supplies From Glaxo Smith Kline
“Following the Biden administration’s surprise announcement that Health and Human Services (HHS) is taking over the distribution of monoclonal antibody infusion treatments for COVID-19—reducing the number of doses in several red states by 50 percent—a spokesperson for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he has reached out to Glaxo Smith Kline to “fill the deficit.”
“Noting that there have been no reported shortages of the treatment, Biden’s press secretary Jen Psaki was asked why the government feels it’s necessary to reduce doses to states like Florida, which has a greater need. Psaki reiterated the standard of “equity” as the reason for taking over distribution. “Our supply is not unlimited,” Psaki insisted, “and we believe it should be equitable across states across the country.”
