May be!: Most healthy children do not need tamiflu (oseltamivir) prophylaxis but 6month old may benefit from the treatment, call your pediatrician to discuss this further. Influenza vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza because vaccination can be given well before influenza virus exposures occur.
