Are Monoclonal Antibodies a Treatment Option for Me?
COVID-19 symptoms can range from mild to severe. Americans continue to fall ill with the disease and many recommended treatments are not yet widely understood. Take this quiz to help determine if it makes sense to consider a specific outpatient treatment for COVID-19.
Are you 12 years of age or older?
Please confirm age.
Treatment options vary by age.

Some examples of individuals at high-risk for severe disease include if you are over the age of 65 years, or if you have one of the following conditions: chronic lung, heart or kidney disease, are pregnant, are immunocompromised or are overweight or obese.
Have you tested positive for COVID-19?
Please indicate case of positive test result.
If you have symptoms of respiratory illness, it is important to get tested so you and your healthcare provider can determine the best course of action.
Are you currently hospitalized for COVID-19?
Please indicate hospitalization due to COVID-19.
There are different recommended treatments depending on if you have been hospitalized or are treating your symptoms at home.
Has it been 10 days or less since you began having symptoms of COVID-19?
Please indicate applicable timing of symptoms.
Specific treatment may be available if given within 10 days of symptom onset.
