UK Bird Flu

The Governemtn are buying 800,000 doses of Tamiflu every month at the moment. That's a fair bit, but will take until next year to give cover to the UK.

Meanwhile, the government are requesting tenders from drug companies who have the ability to produce a vaccine (once the pandemic strain is known) to protect the population. This should mean that when the pandemic strain arrives, that the work to produce the vaccine should happen fairly quickly.
