Are there enough flu vaccines in pharmacies in Dinan?

“Yes, we have a few doses left,” declares a pharmacist from Dinan on condition of anonymity. Same story in other pharmacies in the urban community: “Enough to last a few days, no more”. As we approach the epidemic peak and Bretons have been vaccinated less than last year, can we speak of a “shortage”?

How many vaccines are left?

“The vaccines are prepared a year in advance,” continues another pharmacist. “We can therefore no longer order any because it would take six months for the new vaccines to pass quality-compliance checks.” Moreover, the production lines of pharmaceutical laboratories would be working today for the winter of 2025. But for the moment the situation is only different from one pharmacy to another. And if some are under tension, don’t worry!

A restocking would be planned for certain pharmacies

In Dinan, each patient who wishes can still contact their pharmacist. Some have stock. And for others, a restocking of certain wholesalers-distributors would in principle be provided for by a directive from the Directorate General of Health. So it’s not too late to protect yourself!
