Guidance on antivirals 

August 2009

On specific request from Member States or the European Commission, ECDC convenes scientific panels to provide guidance for policymakers in the area of public health. These panels analyse the available evidence on a particular question in order to help European Union (EU) Member States to make policy choices. They highlight the issues that need to be considered and provide a list of policy options for each of these.
