NATIONWIDE WALGREENS SYSTEM FAILURE LEAVES WALGREENS OVER 700 DEEP IN UNFILLED PRESCRIPTIONS

 

Hundreds of people are without their prescriptions tonight due to a nationwide system failure at Walgreens. Upon a visit to the Crossville Walgreens CNF learned that as many as seven hundred prescriptions remain unfilled. Some people who have prescriptions ready cannot pick them up because the system will not allow the sale to finalize and scan out the medication. Walgreens has brought in extra team members to rectify the situation however when asked, Walgreens could not say when the problem would be rectified or exactly what caused the failure. It is suggested that you call before you attempt to pick up your prescription.

In the meantime the drive through has been closed and individuals who would like to transfer their prescriptions to another pharmacy may do so by having that pharmacy call and request the individual profile.
