Abstract

Tixagevimab-cilgavimab is authorized for preexposure prophylaxis against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in immunocompromised hosts. Herein, we report the clinical characteristics of 8 patients who developed COVID-19 soon after receiving tixagevimab-cilgavimab. This study emphasizes the need to maintain additional measures to prevent COVID-19 during periods of high severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmission.
