Some of the children, most over the age of twelve also had secondary infections which could have contributed to their deaths.

A surprise to me is that the CDC says, 98% of these flu strains that are killing children are resistant to Tamiflu, making it almost useless. These strains are not all from the same bacteria, as they come from different strains themselves. Get your flu shots today for your kids at least.
