Can Carers get Covid antivirals?

I'm at home quite poorly with Covid. My primary school aged child is disabled. Can I get any medication?

Not well enough to write more explanation or search for ideal heading. Apologies if IABU

No

Not that I'm aware of. I have a disabled son who I'm a carer for and I get the covid vaccine as a result, but I've never been eligible for the antivirals when I've had covid. I think they are only if you have certain health conditions yourself that mean you're at a high risk of getting seriously ill.

I hope you feel better soon, it's so tough looking after a disabled child when you're feeling so ill 💐

Don’t think so. DH is classed as ECV but I can’t have any more vaccines. I’d pay if I could but it’s not an option here. I hope to go to the US on holiday soon and pay for one there.

Thank you ❤

Too ill to get put of bed most of the time. Family helping with child thankfully. A bit worried about more symptoms adding on hoping high temperature cooks it!
