Tamiflu distribution to start
Persons prescribed Tamiflu can send a person who is over 18 to collect it, as the A(H1N1) strategy takes a new turn, in line with WHO and ECDC recommendations, and those displaying flu symptoms within certain categories, are to be administered Tamiflu without testing.
These include pregnant women, children under the age of five, people of all ages who seem to be developing complications and all people who are at greater risk of doing so, such as those who suffer from some chronic illness or those with a weak immune system.
All those persons who do not fall into these categories will be treated normally, and will not be given Tamiflu.
Tamiflu can be collected from the following places:
Government Pharmacies
Birkirkara, Paola, Mosta, Cospicua, Floriana, Qormi, Luqa, Gzira
