13. Here is what I am reading on the Tamiflu literature...
"INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS"
Patients should be instructed to begin treatment with TAMIFLU as soon as possible from the
first appearance of flu symptoms.
Similarly, prevention should begin as soon as possible after exposure,
at the recommendation of a physician."

"HOW SHOULD I TAKE TAMIFLU?
It is important that you begin your treatment with TAMIFLU as soon as possible from the first appearance of your flu symptoms
or soon after you are exposed to the flu.

"To prevent the flu: If someone in your home has the flu, take TAMIFLU once a day for at least 7 days or for as long as
prescribed. You can take TAMIFLU for up to 6 weeks if you are exposed to the flu because of an outbreak in your community.

So---this seems contradictory to what some others are saying about people with the flu NOT being given TAMIFLU--and what
the literature in the Tamiflu box says.

I haven't heard that there is a Tamiflu shortage--but why would there be one? Especially when this "pandemic" has been
in the media since the early summer, six months ago?
