Majority of US children who die from flu have not had vaccine, study finds
Of 358 children who died when they caught influenza between 2010 and 2014, the majority had not received a flu vaccine, researchers said. In the UK, young children are offered a flu vaccine in the form of a nasal spray each year on the NHS. More than three quarters of US children who died from the flu in recent years had not been vaccinated against the virus, a new study has found. Of those who died, vaccination status was known for 291 of the children. Half of those who died were considered healthy before they caught the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
