It's available in a limited supply.. Took ours with us from Perth, just incase..
The hospitals and clinics have been supplied, not sure of the quantity though.. There is more chance of you contracting a virus through the flight or at departures than Bali..
We found that those who have had their normal winter flu shots suffered far less problems than those who didn't.
Reason being that the common cold is rife on Bali at the moment, so if your in a crowded place the odds are against you..
The TAMIFLU 75mg (Oseltamivir Phos Caps) and Relenza (Zanamivir) are more designed for H5N1 Bird flu than the H1N1 Swine flu..
Check with your local GP as to the effectiveness of the these medications as against the winter flu shots though..
