Canberra pharmacists have warned of possible supply issues with flu shots, with demand expected to surge in states where free vaccines are being offered.
Some pharmacies are already struggling with vaccine supply but staffing shortages have also proved to be an issue in administering the shots.
The ACT government has not made the flu shot free to the entire population like other states, but Health Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith said the government would consider if free flu shots should be expanded in the territory.
