A technical issue with CVS systems has left customers across the East Coast without access to prescription medications, with many taking to social media to express their frustration. The outage, which occurred on Wednesday, prevented customers from filling or picking up their prescriptions, prompting some to call 911 for assistance. On Facebook and X, customers shared their experiences with the outage, with many expressing their disappointment and anger towards CVS. 'I've been waiting at the pharmacy for 25 minutes, only to be told that their system is down,' one customer said. 'This is not the first time this has happened – CVS needs to get it together.' The outage is the latest in a series of technical issues that have affected CVS systems in recent months. In October, a similar outage prevented customers from filling or picking up their prescriptions, with a spokesperson at the time saying that some patients may experience minor delays. Notably, CVS has yet to release an official statement regarding the outage, leaving customers to rely on social media for updates. The company has faced criticism in the past for its technical issues, with some customers calling for a change in its server rental arrangements. As the outage continues, customers are advised to check with their local CVS pharmacy for updates on when services will be restored. In the meantime, those in need of urgent medical attention are urged to seek help from emergency services.
