We lost 287 kids to flu last season -- one shy of the H1N1 pandemic record. 90% of those kids were unvaccinated, and half had no preexisting conditions. Much more can, and must, be done to avoid a similar tragedy unfolding this season.

The Coalition also celebrated its Five-Year Anniverasy in the Capitol with Flu Champion Congressman Rick Larsen!

The U.S. is experiencing a major H5N1 avian influenza outbreak among various animal species in every state. It has affected a small number of people so far. But a flu virus shift can turn it into a flu pandemic. What should we do to be better prepared for pandemic flu? #FluChat

206 children died from flu complications in the U.S. last season, the most on record for a non-pandemic season. Most were unvaccinated. Flu vaccination rates among children in the U.S. have been declining since 2019. What accounts for this decline, and what can be done? #FluChat
