The oral polymerase acidic endonuclease inhibitor
baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza — Genentech) is now FDAapproved
for post-exposure prophylaxis of influenza
in patients ≥12 years old. Baloxavir was approved for
treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza in patients
≥12 years old in 2018.1 Two neuraminidase inhibitors
are FDA-approved for prophylaxis of influenza:
oseltamivir (Tamiflu, and generics) in patients ≥1 year
old, and zanamivir (Relenza) in patients ≥5 years old.2
Unlike oseltamivir and zanamivir, baloxavir is not FDA-approved
for pre-exposure prophylaxis of influenza
during institutional or community outbreaks.

Annual vaccination against influenza A and B viruses
is recommended for everyone ≥6 months old without a
contraindication. Vaccination of all eligible persons can
reduce the prevalence of influenza illness and symptoms
that might be confused with those of COVID-19.
Available vaccines and recommendations for specific
patient populations for the 2020-2021 season are listed
in Tables 2 and 3. Lower rates of influenza illness have
been observed this season in the Southern Hemisphere,
probably because of masking, social distancing, school
closures, and travel restrictions.
