A member asked:
I am traveling to the usa from china in march. want to bring 9 month old (has had flu shot) but scared about the severity of flu in usa, can i bring?

Your call: Long distance travel with a 9mo is difficult at any time of the year. Flu season usually fades in the US by April but may still be prevalent in March this season. We have reached 80+ child deaths this year compared to ~ 50 in average years. Most vaccinated kids will do better than those without if they become ill anyway.
