I wouldnt use Tamiflu prophylactically. That may cause resistance developing quicker.

If someone gets sick, they should take the tami immediately, double dose for ten days as they have done successfully in indonesia.

That means everyone should have their seasonal vax and have that stockpile of Tamiflu very handy.
