Summary
This unblinded pilot study is intended to assess the feasibility of a larger double-blind,
randomized control trial. For the larger trial the investigators are interested in
understanding the relative benefits of vaccine and antiviral prophylaxis, the risk factors
for influenza infection in healthy adults, and in assessing the safety and tolerability of
seasonal antiviral prophylaxis in healthcare workers.
The pilot study will be assessing the rate of infection with influenza and the rate of
adherence to long-term zanamivir in 60 healthy volunteers.
