Wait, what? Who has been asking for leftover vials? And who exactly have they been asking? The pharmacy tech at Walgreens? I’m not familiar with that.
And aside from policy issues at whatever provider is being asked, the ongoing shortage of borosilicate glass vials necessary for vaccine distribution may be a factor in retaining available supplies.
Your ability to quickly reference:
“the ongoing shortage of borosilicate glass vials necessary for vaccine distribution may be a factor in retaining available supplies.”
is pretty cool.
I had no idea there was such a shortage. I had no idea they reused vials. That is good information.
Query:
When they reuse the vials, how do they relabel the old vials in order to show updated lot and batch numbers?
