Drug Shortages

I've been looking a bit into medications to treat a condition I might have.  There aren't many.

 

I've learned there is a shortage of one, is not available in the province and it's estimated it won't be until the summer.  This isn't to prevent something as minor as a rash, it's to prevent a reaction that has a high potential to be life-threatening.

 

Are drug shortages like this common?  It's not that often that I hear about them, and I pay attention to medical news.

Not Enough Vaccine

How can it be that they are saying that there may be a shortage of vaccine in Canada.

 

They said they had vaccine for everyone. Many have opted out of having the shot. Now they are saying they might not have enough, What gives?
