Is the state of Kansas refusing to dispense Tamiflu?

Advertisements [?]

My sister's daughter has the flu, which it could very well be H1N1 given her symptoms. The doctor told her that they will only give Tamiflu to those who have been admitted to the hospital. My understanding is that by that point, the drug takes longer to work than it would when it's caught early on.

People have died from them not receiving Tamiflu early on from what I've read and seen on TV.

When she told me that this is what the state of Kansas has ordered I couldn't believe it. They are playing with people's lives if this is in fact true.

Can anyone help me out with this?
