Cold and flu medicine shortage still a cause for concern in Kingston, Ont.
Rebecca Hall has two kids under six, and she says it’s been frustrating trying to find meds.
“It’s been very scary not to be able to access flu medication and fever medication,” said Hall, who called it “nerve-wracking.”“My wife says that she’s been to a couple of stores looking and can’t find the Children’s Tylenol anywhere.”On Queen’s University campus, the pharmacist at Drug Smart says the problem hasn’t slowed.“We have to check every day from our suppliers to see what’s available and what’s not,” said Andrew Ting-a-kee.
The cold and flu display at Drug Smart, front and centre in the store, is reasonably stocked, but Ting-a-kee says that the flow of people coming in for the drugs has been consistently high. “They sell, basically like candy, especially on campus where people associate in close proximity. The rate of people getting cough, cold, flu symptoms is very high.”He said this has put a strain on the health-care system overall as people are pushed to walk-in clinics and hospitals to deal with symptoms that they don’t have the over-the-counter drugs to treat with.
