A nationwide shortage of cold, flu and fever medicines for children is causing some drug store chains to limit purchases of the products amid a 'tripledemic' this holiday season.
CVS has a two-product limit in-store and online. Target placed a two-product limit for online purchases. Walgreens is allowing customers to purchase six products per online transaction."I had myself looking, my husband's checking and we had our pastor looking, both my parents, my siblings. Nobody could find anything!" she said.
Dr. Sean O'Leary, the chair of infectious disease for the American Academy of Pediatrics, said"the manufacturers are still manufacturing these medicines as much as they always have been. We are just seeing unprecedented demand.""You know, this is not going to lead to any kind of a complication with your child. These are medicines simply to make your child more comfortable," O'Leary said.
