If you haven't had your child vaccinated yet against influenza, there's more evidence that it's a good idea.

 

Researchers looked at pediatric flu-related deaths and found that 43-percent were amongst healthy kids.

 

Kris Ehresman with the Minnesota Department of Health says kids are still at high risk for complications even if they're normally healthy. She also reminds parents that the less painful nasal spray vaccine is also an option instead of getting a shot.
