Flurarix 2014-2015

Well again Im here on my soap box doing what I can to help my comrads with the daily ups and downs. I received a phone call from my local Glaxo rep regarding next seasons flu order. I was told that Glaxo has made a business decision not to produce pre-filled trivalent flu for next season. The stated that the reason for the decision was that 90% of there orders where for the quad and not the Tri. Or I could switch my order over to the quad. Now Im sure that most of you have already budgeted for flu for the following season so when I given to get the Quad at a 30% increase, well I just about had a fit. I let the rep know that he could cancel my order, and I would find another vendor. I am now the proud owner of Sanfi-Pasture Tri-valent. And Not sure if I will go back to Glaxo anytime soon.

We did the same thing. I hope a lot of facilities do this so GSK can see that they made a bad business decision.
