Yes! In the United States, each year on average 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from seasonal flu-related complications, this according to CDC stats.

We have read many times on this board that antiviral medicines that are used to treat or prevent the flu include oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) and zanamivir (Relenza®)and they are about 40% - 60% effective. Two other antiviral medicines, rimantadine (Flumadine®) and amantadine (Symmetrel®), were used in the past but are generally no longer effective because most flu viruses are now resistant to them.
