Current flu season is a 15-year high. Several children have died. News reports haven't indicated in all cases whether the children were vaccinated or not, but I have seen some of the reports noting children who were not.
#Flu vaccine doesn't necessarily prevent infection, and may not prevent getting sick. I got the flu several weeks after my vax this year. But it was bad enough that I'm sure without the partial protection from severe disease I got from the vax I'd have had to go to the hospital. #vaccines #influenza https://www.wral.com/lifestyle/health/9-year-old-randolph-county-girl-flu-death-january-2025/
