La Agencia de Alimentos y Medicamentos de Estados Unidos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés) autorizó este miércoles el uso de emergencia de Paxlovid, la píldora para el tratamiento de covid-19 para adultos y para mayores de 12 años. ¿Qué significa esto para Costa Rica? ¿Es un paso adelante para tener acceso a este medicamento?

La Nación consultó con el Ministerio de Salud que por medio de su oficina de prensa informó de que se le da seguimiento a la situación, sin que todavía se hayan tomado decisiones sobre el ingreso del medicamento al país.
