Children and the elderly don’t have the strong immune system most others have. When an illness sweeps across the country, they are often the most affected. This is why it’s incredibly important to make sure your child has his or her flu vaccination as early as possible. Last year, 85 percent of the children who died from the flu were unvaccinated and one unvaccinated child has already died this year. These are heartbreaking statistics, but hopefully we can reduce this through education and awareness.
