Tamiflu shortage hits Brooklyn during height of flu season
With a major flu epidemic upon us, many Brooklyn residents are now faced with the prospect of not being able to find the right flu medication at their neighborhood pharmacy.
There is currently a shortage of Tamiflu in Brooklyn, and children’s liquid Tamiflu is only sporadically available at most locations.
Pharmacy Manager Michael Rucci at Rite Aid at 9302 Third Ave. in Bay Ridge said that the scarcity of Tamiflu is not just limited to Brooklyn but rather a nationwide matter.
