We used Tamiflu when that California strain of the flu hit last year (nothing for it in the flu vaccine that turned out so scarce just a couple of days after my kids both got their shots). My daughter didn't get Tamiflu as early as my son when her flu hit, and she had more symptoms before it knocked it down. They still had to get over the cough, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. Thanks for the reminder to order some in advance.

Ironically, I wasn't able to get the flu shot, and I took care of sick kids for weeks (they didn't catch it concurrently, that would have been too easy) and I didn't catch it at all. Wash your hands, cover your face when you cough or sneeze, and don't leave your facial tissues all over, have a receptacle for them and use it!
