Dear Valued Patients and Caregivers,
The global supply chain continues to experience pressure from the stresses caused
by COVID-19 which have created delays and shortages in manufacturing, transportation, and final delivery of products.
Due to these delays and shortages, there may be items on your order that have a reduced quantity, a substituted product, or a backorder due to availability.
Please know our sourcing team is taking all steps possible to provide you with all the products you need as quickly as possible. We are working with all of our suppliers to minimize the impact supply chain issues have on the products and services we provide.

• Pediasure Enteral Products - Abbott has started supplying distributors again with the can version of most flavors and they are expected to have availability of most bottle versions in the near future.
