Flu season is around the corner.

The CDC reported 253 influenza-related pediatric deaths through June 21,2025. Of those, 42.7% occurred in children without a high-risk medical condition.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and Seahurst Pediatrics recommend that ALL children aged 6 months and older get the vaccine.

Pediatricians recommend influenza vaccine for all children 6 months and older this year, observing that the U.S. experienced a severe 2024-25 influenza season. Any vaccine appropriate for age and health status can be used.

Flu is deadly but vaccines save lives!

Latest reporting from the CDC shows this year’s flu season is the deadliest non-pandemic flu season for U.S. children. 216 children have died. This number passed last year’s flu season, which set a previous high for a non-pandemic season with 207 pediatric deaths. Even with seasonal flu activity declining since its February peak, AAP and CDC recommend everyone six months and older get vaccinated against the flu.
