Overview
Children younger than 5 years old, and especially those younger than 2 years, are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications.
CDC estimates that from the 2010-2011 season to the 2022-2023 season (excluding 2020-2021), flu-related hospitalizations among children younger than 5 years old each flu season have ranged from 6,000 to 25,000 annually in the United States.
Many more sick children have to go to a doctor, an urgent care center, or the emergency room because of flu.
Complications from flu among children can include the following:
- Pneumonia (an illness where the lungs get infected and inflamed),
- Dehydration (when a child's body loses too much water and salts, often because fluid losses are greater than fluid intake),
- Worsening of long-term medical problems like heart disease or asthma,
- Brain dysfunction,
- Sinus problems, and
- Ear infections.
In rare cases, flu complications can lead to death.
