    Hi all. May this day find you all well. I think there is is another BCG shortage around the corner. Is this true?

    Hi Lemongirl

    The possible shortage should not occur until the middle of 2018.

    Why do the shortages occur? Anyone know? Valstar is still used in the U.S. Is it used in Canada yet?

    Hi Kiowa

    One of the manufacturers will no longer be producing BCG. Valstar is not approved by Health Canada for usage for bladder cancer.
    All the best,
    Jack
