Novorapid vials shortage

Is anyone aware of a current shortage of NovoRapid in 10ml vials?

I am prescribed these for my Omnipod and usually have no trouble getting them from the local pharmacy. However, they have been unable to get any in stock over the last two weeks. I have managed to top up my supply by ringing round and visiting different pharmacies, but it seems there is a general lack of supply.

I reported this to my hospital and they contacted Novo Nordisk, who said there is no manufacturing or supply problem. I’m curious how widespread my trouble getting hold of it is.
 
About a month ago, I had a similar problem getting Fiasp but after 3 weeks, my local pharmacy was able to get some.
There was no public report of any shortages but there was certainly a local issue.

I only use NovoRapid as my pen backup so no experience of getting any NR vials.
