Prophylaxis

Prophylaxis

Household close contacts of confirmed or probable cases warrant prophylaxis with oseltamivir or zanamivir if the contacts are at high risk for complications from influenza. Healthcare workers who did not use appropriate personal protective equipment during close contact with ill confirmed, probable, or suspected cases during the case's infectious period also warrant consideration of prophylaxis. source: BMJ Best Practice.
