Each year, millions of people get flu, more than 200,000 Americans are hospitalized with complications, and the virus kills thousands of people. Now, an estimated 44 percent of American adults get vaccinated, according to the CDC.
Flu is now widespread in 46 states and has killed 26 children, health officials said today. This year is shaping up to be a bad one, particularly for people 65 and older, says Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Children younger than 5 are also at high risk of hospitalization, particularly babies under 6 months, who are too young to be vaccinated.
