Many people underestimate the seriousness of influenza or have questions about flu vaccination. Sadly, every year in the U.S., upwards of 56,000 people – including 100 children – die from the flu and associated complications, leaving their families and communities shocked and devastated.

Our organization works to educate others about the dangers of influenza and the critical importance of annual flu vaccination for everyone six months and older.
