Most children, even with underlying conditions will do well. However, the number of reported deaths continue to rise and many seem to be children who are healthy one day and dead a few days later. I just saw a report on a 7 year old in Bakersfield, CA. Parents thought he had a cold on Friday. He was sicker Saturday and Sunday,
and dead on Monday.
These stories will fuel a run on the remaining vaccines, especially the children's version.
