AstraZeneca's COVID-19 prevention shot has been recommended by the European Union's Drug regulatory body, the EMA (European Medicines Agency).
The preventive treatment, called Evusheld, is an antibody cocktail therapy meant for those who can't take the vaccine, or for whom the vaccine is inadequate—usually because of underlying health issues.
The EMA, in a statment released on 24 March, said that they were recommending the authorisation of the preventive treatment for everyone over the age of 12 that weighs over 40 kgs.
