Here we go again.
As had happened in the past, we are not able to get flu shots this year. First the McKesson, our supplier said FDA is not releasing the lot numbers to Novartis, so there is delay. Then there they said all the factories are utilizing the resources to make H1N1 flu shot, so there is delay. Now they are saying, don't hold your breath.
Now we do not have enough flu shots. This debacle happens every few yrs. Chain pharmacies due to mass buying power- Kroger, Walgreen, KMart, Sams all have it. Doctors offices in our town don't have it, can't get it, nobody knows why.
What are the people responsible for the proper delivery of shots to patients doing? They are careless, doing sloppy job of ensuring adequate supplies, not explaining the current situation to providers.
This flu shot delivery system is a disgusting situation.
