CDC: 90% of kids who died last flu season didn't get vaccine

SALT LAKE CITY — The flu took the lives of more than 100 children in the U.S. last flu season, and most of those kids didn't get a flu shot.

That's according to a new report by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, aimed to encourage Americans to get vaccinated now. The flu kills up to approximately 36,000 people each year, but less than half of the population gets an annual flu shot. That's something the CDC wants to change.
