The company that imports EpiPens for children into Australia has “run out” of stock and is not expected to get more for at least 11 days.

Earlier this week, the TGA announced it would be allowing the sale of a batch of 150mcg EpiPens that had been contaminated with trace amounts of pralidoxime to address a critical shortage.
