Seasonal flu vaccination could have prevented about two-thirds of the pediatric flu deaths that occurred between 2010 and 2014, according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During the time period of the study, 358 U.S. children died of confirmed influenza infection; only one-quarter of them had received their yearly flu shot. On average, flu vaccinations prevented flu in two-thirds of children during these years, and reduced deaths from flu in high-risk children by half.
