× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

The currently available anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies that have received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) include:

All three products cover current variants circulating in California.

Acquiring Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal Antibody Products for EUA Use

Given high demand and limited supply, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that effective September 13, 2021, distribution of all anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody products will transition to a state/territory-coordinated distribution system. This means that facilities cannot directly order these products. At this time, there is no timeline for when direct ordering will be available.

Weekly distribution amounts of each anti-SARS-COV-2 monoclonal antibody product for each state/territory will be determined by HHS based on weekly reports of new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in addition to data on inventories and use submitted to the federal government.

CDPH will allocate product to local jurisdictions. Once the number of doses has been allocated, each jurisdiction's Medical and Health Operational Area Coordinator (MHOAC) will assist in determining which facilities within the jurisdiction receive product. Facilities that require anti-SARS-COV-2 monoclonal antibody products should contact their MHOACs to discuss available supply in their jurisdiction.

SARS-COV-2 monoclonal antibody products should contact their MHOACs to discuss available supply in their jurisdiction.
