We are stockpiling 1 million treatment packs of the anti-viral drug, Tamiflu. A total of 600,000 packs have already been delivered. The remaining 400,000 packs will be delivered later this year. Arrangements have also been made to purchase a supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, oseltamivir phosphate powder, to treat children aged between one and five years.
