Indonesian health officials confirmed Saturday, that a 16-year-old boy has tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu. Seven avian flu cases in Indonesia have been fatal.

The Health Ministry says Indonesia hopes to start producing Tamiflu within five months to meet the country’s needs in a possible pandemic.

Taiwan has also said it will produce Tamiflu on its own when stocks supplied by Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche run out. Taiwan’s Intellectual Property Office said Friday it will request a license to produce the drug.
