Tested Positive for Covid-19? Here’s How to Get the Covid Pill

As cases rise, there are now other treatments available for covid-19 with little or no cost that could help you avoid the worst and recover more quickly from a mild or moderate case of covid. Paxlovid is the five-day course of pills from Pfizer that everyone has been talking about. How do you get a hold of it? Check with your primary care for a prescription, visiting health centers, urgent care clinics, and pharmacies that are designated by the government as “test to treat”, or online urgent care.

The Biden Administration has heavily promoting the pill, stating: “We want all individuals to know about this effective medication, and to have a conversation with their health care provider about if they are eligible, and whether they should be making a plan.”
