Almost all pediatric flu deaths are in unvaccinated children. Flu shots aren't perfect but they make the symptoms milder, reduce transmission, & reduce the risk of hospitalizations. Concerning that vaccination rates still haven't bounced back to pre-pandemic levels.
NBC: “Flu shots fall among kids, hitting their lowest point in years: The U.S. last year hit a grim milestone: the most pediatric flu deaths since before the pandemic.”

New: Universal masking&testing reduce hospital infections, so does staff masking
Stopping universal masking&testing led to 25% increase in respiratory viral infections
Restarting staff masking led to 33% decrease
8 out of 100 (random sample) died in the hospital

A great group of folks has developed learning objectives to help you with undergrad virology education. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Development of learning objectives to support undergraduate virology curriculum guidelines | Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education
The discipline of microbiology is extremely broad as it encompasses the study of microscopic organisms and entities. The field of virology is a specialized area of study within the field of microbiology. Due to the complexity of virology as a field, herein we describe the development of curriculum guidelines and associated example learning objectives to help educators teach virology.
