Anyone know when adult epi-pens are likely to appear again?

I've been waiting 6 weeks and the chemists still can't get adult epi-pens. Delays are common but It's the worst year yet.

Anyone know when they might be available again. None of the pharmacists know.

which ones do you use? I thought the shortage was only for epi pens, not jext or emerade?

Jext and emerade aren't available in our town either. DS is 11 and uses the adult ones.
