We should have sufficient vaccine for the entire population before then. For the time being it's a relatively mild strain of the flu so it's probably as well to let it have its way with the population.

I have a GP friend who suggested that for most people the side effects you can get from a course of Tamiflu may be worse than simply enduring the virus itself. And unless you get the vaccine afterwards, killing the infection with Tamiflu denies your body the opportunity to develop its own immunity.
