Wow Flu is even more dangerous or kids have yours been vaccinated?

AT LEAST 32 children have lost their lives to this season's flu and others have been left blind, including a 4-year-old girl who was not vaccinated.
Jade DeLucia has contracted what is known as the influenza B strain, which itself has already been responsible for the deaths of 21 kids.

It is believed that most of the children who've died from this year's flu did not receive vaccinations.
"I'm less interested in whether the vaccine prevents all cases of runny noses and feeling cruddy and having to stay home from school because of the flu," Dr. Adam Ratner of NYU Langone Health in New York City told CNN.
"That's no fun, but you get the vaccine not so much to prevent that as to prevent the chances of having a horrible complication of the flu."
There were nearly 10 million flu cases in the U.S. between Oct. 1 and Jan. 4, according to the CDC. There have been a total of 4,800 deaths from the flu.
Influenza B, which usually hits later in the season, is more likely to cause harm to children than the influenza A strain, according to experts.
"Flu B has a predilection for striking children," Dr. William Schaffner, the medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, told NBC News.
"We're seeing lots of children and more young adults at the present time. That's a reflection of the dominance of flu B."
Dr. Seema Shah of Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego told KNSD that "we're definitely seeing more than the average number of flu cases this year."
Doctors insist that getting the flu shot will cut down the chance that children will have severe symptoms if they do become ill.
The CDC recommends the flu vaccine for children six months and older and "prompt" antiviral treatment of high risk and hospitalized patients who are suspected of having the flu.
