If you are looking to get a flu shot at a pharmacy in Weyburn, you are going to have trouble finding it. Weyburn, like many other communities across the province, is experiencing a shortage of the vaccine.

“We are currently unavailable to access any of the flu vaccine,” said Ian Fleck, a pharmacist at Prairie Sky Co-op in Weyburn. He added he has heard other pharmacies in Weyburn are out as well.

For those who are looking to get the flu vaccine, Fleck recommends contacting the public health offices here in Weyburn.

“I have spoken to them, and they do have some in supply there, and I do know that they are thinking of putting on another clinic to try and get people vaccinated who haven’t had the chance yet to do so.”

A number of factors are being cited as a reason for the shortage at this time in the season. One of the reasons is increased demand this year. The other is a supply issue.
