TDEM Expands Operations at Seguin Infusion Center

The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), in partnership with local officials, will expand operations at an active COVID-19 therapeutic infusion center in Seguin. The infusion center, which opened on a small scale in December 2020 and transitioned to a larger operation, will further grow operations. The expansion is expected to double the number of daily infusions to 50 from 25 to 30.

The infusion center has been provided with Regeneron monoclonal antibodies to treat COVID outpatients who have a referral from a doctor. This treatment is available at no cost to the patient. Local partners include Guadalupe Regional Medical Center, Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council, the city of Seguin and Guadalupe County.

“The expansion of Seguin’s infusion center helps ensure more Texans can access this effective treatment in Central Texas,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “We will continue to expand access to COVID-19 antibody therapeutic infusion centers in our communities, and I encourage Texans who test positive for COVID-19 to continue utilizing this treatment.”

TDEM and the Texas Department of State Health Services have established and expanded antibody infusion centers in the past several months.
