As flu cases surge around California and the Bay Area, some Walgreens stores in the region are reporting shortages of Tamiflu.
The recent spike in flu cases around the Bay Area and California is not only crowding hospital emergency rooms with flu patients, it’s also leading to more demand for flu shots and antiviral medications to treat the virus.
That means some drug stores around the region, such as Walgreens, are reporting a limited supply of Tamiflu, said company spokesman Scott Goldberg.
“We recommend customers call ahead to confirm availability of Tamiflu,’’ Goldberg said in an email.
