Fox News, January 2, 2022
Hospitals in Houston could run out of the antibody treatment sotrovimab within the next two weeks. The University of Texas Medical Branch told Fox News on Saturday that its four-hospital network is using sotrovimab with the patients who need it most and are waiting on the next shipment. UTMB chief medical officer Dr. Gulshan Sharma told Fox News that the hospital system had allocation prior to Christmas and that it is looking for the next allocation date early 2022. "Based on our current usage it could last for [the] next 10-14 days," Sharma said.
