Despite the US government s attempt to get rid of the Chinese supply chain, Chinese syringe and needle suppliers are dealing with a production expansion after orders continue to increase worldwide, with the US setting the trend. Several large producers have seen their orders pile up for months as the Biden administration ramps up its efforts for COVID-19 vaccinations.
This comes as a US official admitted in a rare move in a recent Congressional hearing that 80 percent of the needles and syringes in use in the US originated from China.

Chinese syringe and needle companies quadruple prices for their manufactured products amid surging demand. They are sending clear warnings that their capacity is fully accounted for despite production expansions, with some orders waiting till August.
However, new orders for hundreds of millions of syringes have still been arriving in recent weeks and months, mostly from the US, against the backdrop of the country ramping up orders for vaccine and protective equipment.
While the US Food and Drug Administration gave approval for health care providers to squeeze out an extra dose of Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine from many vials, the country s supply of syringes is inadequate in terms of numbers, media reported.
