There is some resistance in the H1N1 flu to Tamiflu; rare but has happened. Definitely check with your dr about that one. The sensitivity testing that has been done shows Zanamivir to work better.
They also recommend those with neurological disorders, neuromuscular, and naturally immune disorders get the vaccine as we are in a high risk category for complications. However, if you are sensitive to eggs or allergic to them then you can't get it done.
