Numerous Kelowna pharmacies report depleted supply of flu vaccine
The association went on to say that in terms of ordering vaccines, supplies of flu vaccines were arriving with distributors Tuesday, and all pharmacies can place orders with their distributors.It’s promising news, considering this year’s flu season has arrived a lot sooner than in years past.
“In the years before the pandemic, we were seeing these numbers usually increasing at the end of December in January and February,” said Dr. Fatemeh Sabet. “But now we are seeing a dramatic increase in November.”Along with the increase in cases, the Interior Health Authority says there’s been an increase in emergency visits.“This rate has slightly decreased over the past two weeks for the pediatric population, but it continues to be high for the adult population.
According to IHA, 20 per cent of the region’s population has received the flu vaccine, and it’s urging more people to get vaccinated.“And I especially encourage children and families with children to get their vaccine. There is still time for you to get your influenza vaccination.”
