I just received enough syringes to last me a year. Why you ask? China is the major manufacturer of medical supplies. I use Easy Touch syringes and they are made in China and when I ordered mine I asked how long can supplies last without getting anymore for say three months. The answer was one to two month unless people like you order a year's supply all at once, then maybe two weeks. Thought this might help to avoid the shortages that are coming for everything made in China. There are 540,160 medical supplies suppliers, mainly located in Asia. The top supplying country or region is China.
