Accessing antiviral treatment

Paxlovid is an outpatient treatment for COVID-19 that can reduce the risk of serious illness if started within the first 5 days of symptoms. It is available for individuals 60 years of age or older or who have higher risk of severe illness due to underlying medical conditions.

If you have tested positive for COVID-19, including using a home antigen test, and you are eligible for Paxlovid treatment, you can obtain a prescription from any healthcare provider or from participating pharmacists in your community.

While treatments may prevent adverse outcomes for those who are eligible it does not replace other public health measures, including vaccination, wearing masks, and physical distancing.
