📈 The summer COVID surge has started and cases are on the rise, particularly in the South. ✅ If you have risk factors for progression to severe COVID illness and have symptoms, get tested 🧪 so you can get treated 💊 COVID treatment decreases risk of severe illness and hospitalization
Table titled "Example of high-risk factors for progression" with two columns: "Example health condition" and "Example therapeutics." Health conditions listed include age 75 years or older; fewer than 1% peripheral B cells after at least 6 months of treatment; congenital agammaglobulinemia; hematopoietic stem cell transplant within 2 years or with active graft-versus-host disease; hematologic malignancy on therapy; HIV infection with CD4 count below 200; other severe primary immunodeficiency; solid organ transplant; and solid tumor on treatment. Example therapeutics include B-cell–depleting agents within the past 12 months (such as rituximab, ofatumumab, ocrelizumab), CAR-T therapy within the past 12 months, abatacept, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (such as imatinib and ibrutinib), high-dose corticosteroids (equivalent to at least 20 mg prednisone daily for at least 4 weeks), and anthracycline derivatives. A note states that the listed therapeutics are examples that predispose to substantial immunosuppression.
