"The city will also offer at-home delivery of COVID antiviral pills to eligible New Yorkers who need them, and we're going to do it with the magic New York word -- we're going to do it for free. For free," Adams said."We want to make sure no one with COVID has to move throughout the city, especially for those who are immunocompromised or our elderly. We want to bring it to you.
Both treatments have been authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Paxlovid for those aged 12 and older and molnupiravir for those aged 18 and older. Both have been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death for high-risk patients, but the FDA has recommended molnupiravir only when other treatments are"not accessible or clinically appropriate."
