In recent years drug shortages have become an increasingly common headache for both medical providers and patients.
Now medical providers have been dealing with a shortage of the vaccine that helps protect against shingles.
Shortages of the shingles vaccine Shingrix have been ongoing across the United States, with many people hunting from place to place or joining call lists to find it.
“We probably have turned people away and that’s only because of the limited supply that is out there. Shipments come into our facilities, once they are used up we are just waiting for the next shipment,” Julio Viola, director of centralized pharmacy services at Northwell Health System, told Healthline.
“Even in our surrounding area of pharmacies are out of stock also. They are just keeping waiting lists for those patients that need the vaccine,” he said.
