Allocation of mAbs as PEP to persons &gt;65 years of age averted up to 17% of infections and 41% of SARS-CoV-2 associated deaths relative to vaccine alone. The authors suggest that the benefits of mAbs for early treatment and PEP could be enhanced in scenarios where rapid vaccine deployment is not feasible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kamal et al.
