The Health Protection Agency has confirmed that the rate at which influenza viruses are now circulating in England has reached the point which triggers the use of antiviral drugs.

The most recent surveillance data published by the Health Protection Agency indicates that the overall rate of influenza-like illness has exceeded the threshold at which the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance recommends that antiviral drugs be used.

Doctors in England have now been advised that the use of antiviral drugs for the prevention or treatment of flu in patients who are at higher risk of developing complications from the infection is now recommended.
