2024-2025 Pediatric Flu Season Is Deadliest Ever for American Children
Following a devastating flu season during 2003-2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began tracking [https://gis.cdc.gov/GRASP/Fluview/PedFluDeath.html#:~:text=Table_title:%20Number%20of%20Influenza%2DAssociated%20Pediatric%20Deaths%20by,Week%20Ending%2021%20Feb%202026:%208%20%7C] the number of pediatric deaths. During the 2003-04 season, 153 children, including the children of the founders of Families Fighting Flu, died of the flu.
"This is an unacceptable record high," said Michele Slafkosky, Executive Director Families Fighting Flu. "One death of a child from the flu is too many, and I fear going forward, with the lowered recommendation for the flu shot for children, the number of pediatric deaths will continue to rise unnecessarily. At Families Fighting Flu, we stand by the previous vaccine recommendation that everyone aged 6 months and older should receive an annual flu vaccine. Our families know far too well how the flu can devastate a family."
Family members and survivors from across the U.S. are available for interviews about the impact that flu has had on their families and why vaccination is critical.
About Families Fighting Flu:
Founded in 2004, Families Fighting Flu (FFF) is a national, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) advocacy organization dedicated to protecting children, families, and communities against the flu. Our organization includes families whose loved ones have suffered serious medical complications or died from influenza, as well as other advocates and healthcare professionals committed to flu education and prevention.
