  • BAGKOK, 6 July 2012 -The Ministry of Public Health has reaffirmed that no outbreak of avian flu has been detected in Thailand, but to play it safe the ministry has ordered millions of doses of antiviral drugs of Tamiflu in case of emergency.
<!-- Item fulltext -->According to Department of Disease Control Director-General Dr. Pornthep Sririwanarangsan, the stocking up on Tamiflu is necessary because not only has the avian flu outbreak been reported in China, but also in Mexico.

However, 4 million Tamiflu tablets will be obtained to make sure people receive the medication immediately should they develop the H1N1 symptoms. Moreover, the quarantine zones along the Thai border have also been told to be extra cautious about all the birds imported into the country.:tiphat:http://www.pattayamail.com/news/pub...il-tamiflu-in-case-of-bird-flu-outbreak-14415

Reading the body of the article it looks to me that the reference to H1N1 is a typo and should be H5N1.
