From the UK's Independant newpaper :

M. Garnier was tightlipped about Serono and Pfizer's consumer healthcare business, which might be sold or spun off. **He also said GSK had sold its entire Relenza flu production for 2006 and parts of 2007.** Governments are stockpiling the drug alongside Roche's Tamiflu in the event of a bird flu pandemic.

Also in the International Herald :

Glaxo said it had already sold out the year's production of Relenza, its flu drug, as governments stockpile the treatment as a possible avian influenza treatment. In November, the company said it was talking with six possible partners to help increase production of the antiviral, which is one of only two medicines that have shown promise against the deadly virus.
