I hate the FLU.

I don't have it, but everyone else seems to. Tamiflu suspension is not available, so we're having to compound it. It takes a minimum of 15 minutes per prescription from typing to compounding to labeling to checking.

Someone at Roche decided that the CDC wasn't serious about the epi-pan-demic of the flu back in May, so they aren't making Tamiflu suspension at the rate we need it, or maybe they're not making it at all. Flu season has started earlier than normal, and we're running around like crazy people in the retail factory.

I'm kind of glad I can't give flu shots. I feel like that's all I would be doing.
