Vaccine shortage

There is a global shortage of Hepatitis A and B vaccines impacting severely on UK supply, This is due to intermittent manufacturing issues which have resulted in increased demand on all manufacturers’ supplies of vaccine.
We are also currently experiencing a shortage of Pneumococcal (pneumonia) vaccine, and Revaxis (Diphteria Tetanus and Polio) vaccine. It is not clear when these vaccines will become available.
