From the State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity, Beijing Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology (W.L., T.J., X.‐F.L., M.‐T.W., M.Y., H.Z., X.‐D.Y., C.‐F.Q., W.‐C.C.) and the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention of the Chinese Peoples? Armed Police Forces (F.T.), Beijing, and the Tianjin Key Laboratory for Biomarkers of Occupational and Environmental Hazard, Department of Epidemiology, Medical College of Chinese People?s Armed Police Forces, Tianjin (M.‐T.W.), China. W.L. and T.J. contributed equally to this work.

Prophylaxis and treatment with oseltamivir effectively controlled a community outbreak of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) in China. The genetic makeup of strains of different generations seemed to be stable. Travel in confined settings might accelerate the transmission of pandemic influenza in a community outbreak.
