A new oral antiviral drug from Pfizer has now approved emergency authorization on Wednesday, 22/12/2021.
The roll out of the oral antiviral drug may be instrumental in combating the menace of Covid, many who have phobia's for needles can now do away with that excuse for not getting vaccinated. My question however is - will this oral antiviral drug be a one time thing, or a drug that will be taken whenever one experiences symptoms of COVID like other drugs?
It doesn't replace vaccines, the antiviral drug's purpose is solely to combat the illness's symptoms itself, reducing the risk of fatalities. It will probably be taken just like any other antiviral drug we're accustomed to. Despite its rollout, vaccines are still necessary.
