Flu vaccine shortage amid run on private market pharmacy supplies
29 May 2019 - Australian pharmacies are running out of the flu vaccine amid unprecedented numbers of people getting immunised against the infection.
The federal and state-funded free flu vaccines are still available from GPs for the most at-risk groups (including young children, pregnant women and the elderly) and their supply is secure, health authorities confirmed on Wednesday.
But pharmacies across Australia have run out - or are running very low - on flu vaccines for the rest of the population.
