How many doses of antivirals does the Western Australian Government have stockpiled?
The Western Australian Department of Health has a stockpile of antiviral drugs for the treatment of travellers from South East Asia who might be infected with the H5N1 virus. It also has arrangements to access about 10 per cent of the Federal Government’s stockpile of 3.9 million courses of Tamiflu. The Department is currently finalising arrangements for the statewide storage and distribution of antivirals, vaccines, masks and other pandemic supplies.
