We had 200 pediatric flu deaths during the 2023-2024 flu season.
That's a record outside of pandemic flu years.
83% of the pediatric deaths were among unvaccinated children. This was preventable. The flu vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalization and death.
Half the children had no pre-existing conditions.
Flu vaccination rates among children have been lower since the pandemic.
