Although flu activity is declining across the county, it remains a high-severity season for children. Of note, 143 children have died this flu season; 85% of those were not fully vaccinated against the flu. In addition to the flu, another vaccine preventable disease is on the rise: Rotavirus. Like the flu, vaccination against Rotavirus can prevent serious illness in children, preventing hospitalization or even death. Speak with your physician about vaccinations, including any questions or concerns you have!
