once a writer wrote:This may be an excess of caution . . .
but figuring that the syringe industry is going to be slammed once the Covid injection campaign is under way, I just ordered a year's supply of the syringes for my Quadmix and testosterone injections.
Not to mention stoppers, seals, plungers, and all the other components needed for manufacture of supplies.
Your question is valid. We have already seen shortages in stuff ("stuff" an all emcompassing term applied to physical things as well as non-physical needs, such as access to medical consults) because C-19 needs have limited access to medical facilities, personnel time, etc. So, it is not just syringes.
Question: Will the syringes or needles used for penile and testosterone injections be the same as the those used for vaccine injection?
Also, please don't overbuy. Having a contingent supply to carry you through shortages is a good and prudent thing to do, but gross over-buying could be defined as hoarding, which hurts those less able to prepare in advance. Striking a balance is an individual decision...sometimes hard to achieve a moral balance, I admit. My supply of toilet paper and other consumables is witness to that. On the toilet paper question, though, I have sidestepped the issue by buying a bidet attachment.
Imagination provides alternative solutions for some problems.
My own supply of prescribed drugs bears examination. I rarely have more than a 10 day supply (at its lowest) on hand and rarely more than 60 days at its highest. These are less likely to be affected by the vaccine production/distribution but other contingencies may occur. I should take your precautions as a model, as should everyone else-but prudently so as not to create a shortage where none would exist otherwise. (My opinion)
