Colorado Records 2nd Pediatric Flu Death of the Season

“Unfortunately, this has been a severe flu season, and pediatric deaths are a tragic reminder that influenza is not a benign illness for children. While most kids recover, every year we see that influenza can cause severe complications and death, even in previously healthy children,” said Dr. David Higgins, a pediatrician and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
