Due to the high demand and short supply of therapeutics across the nation, federal US HHS announced a transition in how therapeutics are distributed throughout the country. As of September 13, 2021, therapeutics will now be distributed through the State of Texas. Administration sites can no longer order directly from AmerisourceBergen.  Pending therapeutics orders with AmerisourceBergen are being closed out. DSHS will be allocating both Regeneron and Bamlanivimab and Etesevimab for the state of Texas and will seek to allocate as proportionally as possible. The amount available to distribute is expected to be disproportionately small compared to the amounts needed.

Reminder: The State of Texas Assistance Request (STAR) process should NOT be used for requesting therapeutics. All STARs submitted for therapeutics will be marked not filled.  If you have further questions regarding the new process, email therapeutics@dshs.texas.gov.
