Flu and COVID-19 Coinfections among Children
A new CDC MMWR found that while flu and COVID-19 coinfections in children were relatively rare during the 2021-22 flu season, they did occur and resulted in potentially more severe illness. Most children who had coinfections last season and were hospitalized or died had not been vaccinated against flu. Keep children 6 months and older up to date with recommended flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.
