Thank you for your request.
We do not hold information on monoclonal antibodies. NHS England publishes data on the number of the monoclonal antibody treatments given to non-hospitalised and hospitalised patients in England on their COVID-19 Therapeutics webpage. NHS England therefore may be better placed to respond to your enquiry. They can be contacted at england.contactus@nhs.net.
The Office for National Statistics COVID-19 Infection Survey (CIS) is a household survey that estimates the number of people testing positive for infection and for antibodies in the UK. Our statistics refer to the number of current COVID-19 infections within the population living in private residential households. We exclude those in hospitals, care homes and/or other communal establishments. You might be interested in our Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Survey, antibody data, UK bulletin, which provides estimates of antibody positivity for UK countries.
Further information and an overview of data about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and other sources can be found in our Coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights tool.
