Overall, respiratory illnesses including flu are hitting young children especially hard potentially due to the recent relaxation of pandemic-era prevention efforts. So far, there have been five influenza-associated deaths in children this season- with three deaths reported this past week.There are 14 states, as well as New York City and the District of Columbia reporting "very high" levels of influenza-like activity, according to the CDC.
"Influenza vaccination is the single best thing we can do to prevent influenza and its serious complications," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told ABC News. It is still possible to get the flu after getting vaccinated, but experts say your illness won't be as severe.
Despite the flu shot being your best protection, flu vaccine coverage is currently lagging, especially in adults and pregnant people. While flu vaccination among children remains similar to last season, it is 6 percentage points lower from two years ago.
