The FDA needs to take action as New York City and Long Island suffer from dangerous “spot shortages” of medicine for children due to the triple threat of COVID, RSV and the flu, Sen. Chuck Schumer said Sunday.
Running low on store shelves are meds like Tylenol, Motrin and Robitussin, Schumer said at a news conference.
“With surging rates of RSV, the flu and even COVID and colds, New York City and Long Island drug stores are struggling to keep children’s medicines in stock,” the Democratic lawmaker said, holding up a copy of a Daily News front page to make his point.
