1. Anti-Viral Medication

  1. The MoH will provide recommendations of the use of anti-viral medication
  2. The CMA should check the MoH website for the latest information on the use of New Zealand's anti-viral medication supply

2. Influenza Vaccine

  1. Vaccine development cannot commence until the pandemic virus has been isolated
  2. New Zealand does not have the capacity to manufacture vaccines. The MoH will provide the Government of New Zealand with advice on priority groups for immunisation
  3. It may take 6 months after the declaration of a pandemic by WHO before vaccine is generally available for use in New Zealand
