不过,即使是健康的儿童可能遭受严重的morbidity and mortality if they get sick with Influenza. Every year in the U.S. during a typical Flu season, greater than one hundred children die from Influenza. Some years the number of deaths can be much higher due to more virulent strains. About half of the children who die are previously healthy. They do not have any underlying risk factors known to increase risk of poor outcomes with the Flu infection. Nearly 100% of the children who die from Influenza are under-immunized.
