Should individuals stockpile Tamiflu to prepare for the next pandemic?

0

We strongly discourage people from stockpiling Tamiflu. No one knows what the next pandemic flu strain will be until it arrives, and Tamiflu may or may not be effective against it. Also, if people stockpile Tamiflu, they will reduce the supply available to people who become ill from seasonal flu virus. Finally, like most medications, Tamiflu has a shelf life and may lose its effectiveness after a period of time.
