Press Statement: Roche Affirms That Tamiflu(R) is in Ample Supply Nationwide
Date:2/19/2008

>Tamiflu is designed to be effective against all A and B strains of influenza. The CDC reported Friday that there are three primary viral types circulating in the U.S. this year -- two A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) and numerous B strains. The A strain H3N2 is the predominant virus for the season overall, and is typically associated with more severe illness.

The vaccine is not optimally matched to the H3N2 or the B viruses, according to the CDC report. The vaccine does appear to be well-matched against the H1N1. During this season, there has been a small increase observed in the number of H1N1 viruses resistant to Tamiflu, but no resistance has been identified among the H3N2 and B viruses. Tamiflu is not a substitute for an annual flu shot.
