Most people now have good protection from vaccines & past infection. Herd immunity offers additional protection. With no clear benefit & probably more potential harm from drug interactions (w/ CYP substrates), most pts do not need Paxlovid... #medsky #pharmsky #EMsky #IDsky #MedEd #covid 2/

Still get asked about Paxlovid for covid at times. Most pts don’t need it especially post-vaccination. EPIC-SR trial showed no significant benefit in reducing hospitalizations or deaths. With lower covid morbidity & immunity from vaccines & different strains, Paxlovid offers little to no benefit☹️ 1/
