Update: HHS posts new resources for locating infant formula
The Department of Health and Human Services’ dedicated webpage, which helps health care providers and families locate infant formula during the current national shortage, now includes additional resources and is available in four languages, including Spanish and Navajo. HHS also created a Baby Formula Shortage Social Media Toolkit to direct people to the site and easily share resources to find infant formula, as well as guidance and best practices for families in need of baby formula.
