COVID-19 resources

Some antiviral therapies require ID approval. If you have a high-risk outpatient you believe meets the criteria for Covid-19 therapy, please call the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at (414) 337-7070 from 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. or page infectious disease on-call at (414) 266-2460 for urgent or after hours requests. Note- the Covid-19 outpatient treatment and prophylaxis screening form and the Covid-19 treatment review team were retired on 6/14/2023.

Remdesivir for inpatient use and Paxlovid prescriptions dispensed by a community pharmacy do not require ID approval. Advice about the potential benefits of antiviral treatment can be solicited by paging infectious disease on-call.
