In reply to the discussion: Is there a pharmaceutical shortage now? [View all]Meowmee

A tetanus / pertussis shot last week due to a cut. I wanted pertussis as well since I refused it last time and Im high risk. The doc said ins will only cover it if you teach grade school or work with the public etc. I do teach. But last time, about 6 years ago, it was included with tetanus automatically. No mention of a shortage though. I haven't noticed shortages, just the saline bags last year. My cat was on fluid but we managed to get what we needed. You can just take aleve or the generics, there is no shortage of them. I recently bought a huge bottle of acetomenaphin.
