What kind of interferon are you using?  Most comes in pre-loaded syringes.  There should be some prescribing information that came with it.  Are they multi-use vials or do you need to mix it?

It happened to me before too. The good news you can always go to your local Walgreens and get those syringes without any prescription.

Just when I think I have heard everything a post like yours pops up. This really stinks and you should let the pharmacy know. They dont care that people have to psyche themselves up just to start tx, then you find out there is no syringe when they finally get ready to do first shot.
Cant you go and get a diabetic needle just for this one shot then get the regular ones for next shot. If you explain to the pharmacy that screwed up or a different pharmacy they should be able to give you one syringe.
best of luck
