As respiratory illnesses continue to surge, some pharmacies are running out of liquid versions of medicine that kids commonly use when sick.
Empty shelves, packed waiting rooms hospital beds filling up — flu, COVID and RSV continue to stress the health care system and the patients who need it.
"Those are kids whose doses are weight-based, and so the liquid formulation is really the best way to get a patient a true, weight-based dose," Elliot said."We're calling around from wholesalers to wholesalers to see if we can get the product in for patients." "Literally they have a patient, they deliver to the hospital after delivering treatment and then having to get right back out there," Chia said."It's definitely impacted hospital operations, emergency departments, in-patient bed availability, it's increased times."The CDC's most recent flu report shows nearly 26,000 people were hospitalized with the flu in the week following Thanksgiving, and they expect cases to climb after December's holidays.
