CDC has received a number of inquiries from the public regarding a perceived shortage of flu vaccine and from healthcare providers experiencing difficulty obtaining syringes for vaccine delivery. In response, CDC has developed information resources to address both concerns:

• A web page, Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Supply for the U.S. 2020-2021 Influenza Season, provides insight into the flu vaccine supply, including the total amount purchased, distribution, and types of flu vaccine available.

• The Needle Resource Guide addresses questions on types of needles to use, questions to ask supply distributors, and contact information for CDC and FDA to report issues or ask technical questions.
