Meanwhile, O’Connor had said Biden would be administered PAXLOVID treatment given that he meets U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) criteria for such treatment.
The President’s physician in a statement explained that early use of PAXLOVID, in this case, provides additional protection against severe disease.
