The Flu (for parents) 

Our flu resource section is designed to help parents understand and prevent the flu, a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. The flu can be particularly dangerous for young children, with thousands hospitalized each year. We explain the differences between the flu and a common cold, flu symptoms to watch for, and how the virus spreads. Learn about the importance of annual flu vaccines for children, how they can reduce the risk of severe illness, and other preventive measures. Stay informed on how to protect your family and what to do if your child gets sick.
