Hello,
I can understand your concern for your father.
I am not knowing that if B12 injections are short in stock, because its easily available in our area. Please let me know where your father resides, so i can search and guide you to find out B12 injections. Meanwhile, you can take B12 tablets until injections are available.
Hope this helps you.
Kind regards.
