Flu Season Hits Kids Harder Than Ever

Just saw that this year’s flu season has already claimed more kids’ lives than any year since the 2009 swine flu pandemic—and the season isn’t even over yet. The CDC says 216 kids have died so far, and experts think the final number will be even higher. A big reason? Fewer kids are getting flu shots—only 49% this year, down from 64% five years ago. Vaccines might not stop every sniffle, but they’re proven to save lives. Wild how much this matters! #FluSeason #VaccinesWork #Parenting #HealthNews #Health
