%X With the recent shortage of venom extract, we had 25 patients who required stopping
of venom immunotherapy (VIT). The March 2017 task force recommendation focused on
prolonging existing supplies, but gave limited insight into retesting or restarting
VIT, after prolonged periods without a maintenance injection. Our clinic¡¯s venom extract
supply was exhausted by December 2016.
