From what I've read that is not necessarily the case.

Who is eligible to receive monoclonal antibody therapy?

________________________________

If you are on Medicare they will cover at-home infusion treatment (if certain criteria are met, of course):

Payment for Infusion at Home Beginning on May 6, 2021, Medicare established separate coding and payment for administering COVID-19 monoclonal antibody products in a patient’s home or residence. Effective for services furnished on or after May 6, 2021, the Medicare payment rate for administering monoclonal antibody products in a patient’s home or residence is approximately $750. This rate reflects updated information about the costs involved in furnishing these complex products in a patient’s home. For many providers and suppliers, CMS also geographically adjusts this rate based on where you furnish the service.

I am not 100% sure, but I think so. However, people under 65 with co-morbidity can is my understanding. Most people have issues by age 60 which would make then eligible.
