Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the safety of Tamiflu, when used for the prevention of influenza in children during the flu season. Children who would benefit from influenza prophylaxis when influenza is circulating in the community will receive treatment with Tamiflu syrup (or capsules) 30mg-75mg once daily (dependent on body weight) for 6 weeks. Safety data and influenza symptoms will be recorded throughout the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is \<3 months, and the target sample size is \<100 individuals.
