Canada Global(Web News) Just two weeks after Ontario’s flu and Covid-19 vaccination program began, a Toronto pharmacist has stopped giving the shots, saying it’s not OK to worry people because of a supply shortage. .
Cairo Masih, who works under the PharmaSave umbrella at Rylander and Lawlor, two pharmacies in Toronto’s east end, said flu and Covid-19 shots are not being dispensed properly. Sometimes they get empty vaccine boxes or only 20 doses out of an order of 200, he said. “If you have patients who are going to start chemotherapy or a lot of other patients who are going to have a transplant, those are prioritized by us, but this year we have a lot more from the program,” he said. There is more embarrassment to be faced.” “We don’t have any food in Relander, for which we have to divert 50-60 people every day.
The problem started when the Ministry of Health started distributing publicly funded vaccines to Shoppers Drug Mart,” he said. If something is going wrong with this process, it’s clear that many people in Ontario are going to be affected. Complaints have been received. We are trying to find a solution to the problem, he said. The Ministry of Health and Shoppers Drug Mart owner Loblaws say they are doing their best to get the process right.
