Sadly, I hear too many parents decline flu vaccines early in the season because they want to "wait to see if it works this year" -- but by the time we can make that assessment it's already late into the season. The time to vaccinate is before the season starts.

The CDC's new interim report on the 2024-2025 flu vaccine shows promising effectiveness during one of the most severe flu seasons in 15 years. For children & adolescents, the vaccine reduced outpatient visits for flu by 32-60% & cut hospitalizations by 63-78%.
