Several Montreal-area pharmacies found themselves turning away clients seeking COVID-19 and influenza shots in the first week of a provincial vaccination campaign.
Health officials have warned they expect an early peak to flu season this year, with appointments for vaccinations against flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
But some area pharmacies quickly ran out of the few doses of vaccines for flu and COVID-19 they had received by that date.
