Disparities in COVID-19 Monoclonal Antibody Delivery: a Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Disparities in access to anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies have not been well characterized.

Objective

We sought to explore the impact of race/ethnicity as a social construct on monoclonal antibody delivery.
