C19 Therapies Request Form
Message from Health and Human Services: We know this is a very challenging time, and we appreciate your continued partnership. As you may know, the increased incidence of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 caused a substantial surge in the utilization of monoclonal antibody drugs, particularly in areas of the country with low vaccination rates. We are committed to helping ensure the consistent availability of these critical drugs for current and future patients in all geographic areas of the country. On September 13, HHS transitioned from the direct ordering process for mAbs to a state-coordinated distribution system, similar to that used from November 2020 – February 2021. We fully recognize that state/territorial health departments know where to send needed products in their areas. Transitioning to a state-coordinated distribution system will give health departments maximum flexibility to get these critical drugs where they are needed most. As of Monday, September 13, 2021: Administration sites will no longer order mAb directly from AmerisourceBergen. HHS will determine each state's weekly amount of mAb products based on COVID-19 case burden and mAb utilization. State health departments subsequently identify which sites in their respective jurisdictions receive the product and the amount each site receives. HHS will determine weekly distribution amounts for each state based on weekly reports of new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in addition to data on inventories and use submitted in HHSProtect. State Health Departments will determine where the product goes in their jurisdictions. HHS will continue to monitor product utilization rates, COVID-19 case burden, and overall availability of mAbs to determine when a shift back to the normal direct ordering process may be possible.
