287 kids died last flu season. not too late to get everyone their flu shots!
6/ Pediatric flu vaccination continues to fall, now at 35.8%, a 23% drop since 2019. Adult rates remain steady, but still below national goals of 70%. After a year of federal chaos, shifting CDC messaging, and low perceived risk, urgency has evaporated, which is unsurprising.
