Sask. pharmacies seeing a shortage of COVID-19 vaccines
Supply isn’t meeting demand for many pharmacies in the province when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines.
Many pharmacies are running out of vaccines before they get their next shipment, according to Michael Fougere, CEO of the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan.
“Limited supply means there will be some shortages,” said Fougere.
The federal government orders the vaccines and then distributes them to the provinces and territories based on the demand from the year before. The province then doles out the vaccines to those administering them.
