UPDATES FROM INCIDENT COMMAND:

  • Covid Vaccines: Chief Medical Officer Dr. Paula Gustafson received the first dose of her Covid vaccine over the weekend. Several MHP staff and Shelby County First Responders have also rolled up their sleeves to receive the vaccine over the last several days.
  • Bamlanivimab "Bam” monoclonal drug for Covid treatment. By the end of the day, we will have infused 170 patients with this Eli Lilly monoclonal drug. We have a sufficient supply of both Regeneron and Bamlanivimab for our current needs. We have a 3.5% admission rate for patients who have received “bam”, which remains well below the admission rate for patients that did not receive the drug. Eli Lilly’s CEO was on Sunday’s Face the Nation television program touting the drug and the effectiveness and encouraging hospitals to continue using it.
  • Positivity Rate: The positivity rate is 12.2% for Indiana and 13.89% for Shelby County, so we are finally trending in a better direction after several weeks of increases.
