A member asked:

Scared abt flu with 3 yr in school and 6 month old (gets 2nd flu shot soon). do most kids that get the flu get better or do they die like in the news?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get better: They can still get the flu if vaccinated but it is milder. The unvaccinated kids are at more risk, but most will do well. Will still lose about 50 kids+/- per year with this. I almost lost a 3 yo a few years back, and have known pregnant women who have died, It is a disease that I respect and am really pissed at those who don't get the flu shot.
