LONDON — The World Health Organization said Friday that Tamiflu should be given only to particularly vulnerable people — a warning to countries like Britain where the swine-flu drug is being handed out freely.
WHO previously said it was up to doctors to decide who should get Tamiflu. On Friday, the U.N. agency said healthy people who catch mild to moderate cases of swine flu don’t need the drug, but the young, old, pregnant and those with underlying health problems surely do.
If countries use Tamiflu too liberally, that could lead to resistant viruses, leaving the world with few resources to fight swine flu. The Associated Press
