The nursing home I work at has had an outbreak of influenza A. I had my flu shot and have no symptoms, but did work a couple shifts over the last week and work the next 3 days. They are offering Tamiflu prophylactically for all staff due to exposure. I'm 7w and know that the flu can be bad in pregnancy, but worried about taking drugs that may not be necessary. Not sure if I should go ahead and take it to hopefully prevent the flu or wait it out to see if symptoms appear? Once symptoms appear though I'd also be out of work for a while, but after this weekend I do have a week off already so wouldn't be a huge impact.
Anyone have any opinion on taking the antiviral as a prevention?
