I was put on sulfasalazine 4 months ago to manage an autoimmune disease which surfaced after covid vaccines as serum sickness. today i was diagnosed covid positive. can i be considered immunocompromised and at risk and do i qualify for antivirals?

If autoimmune disease was listed in your medical record, you should be ELIGIBLE for antiviral therapy with paxlovid or molnupiravir although you are less than 65 years old. Please note that these antiviral drugs are only effective within the first 3-5 days of symptom onset, especially in the first three days.
