Great question: The antiviral drug serves as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to prevent further spread, as the vaccine takes about 2 weeks to provide immunity. I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you have a further question. Thank you
Well according to some guidlines there should be at least two weeks of difference in a vaccine and antiviral drug is that not true
Give oseltamivir for 2 weeks ? Not for 5 days only ?
