Abstract
► We used a stochastic household compartmental model of the transmission of influenza. ► We compared the impact of treatment only and treatment with prophylaxis. ► We found that unless antivirals were extremely effective in reducing deaths, prophylaxis was justified. ► Our results illustrate the importance of household level decisions.
