[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the flu shot isn't 100% effective against getting the flu but it does weaken the reaction, right? My basic question is can an [b]otherwise healthy child who has had the shot still die from flu?[/b] What I'm reading online doesn't report which of the fatalities, if any, had had the shot. [/quote] If the child is allowed to dehydrate and medical attention is not sought, yes. This why children in developing countries die from things like measles, mumps, etc. It's not the primary illness that kills them. It's the secondary effects and it's mostly dehydration because there is no adequate availability of clean water to use for rehydration.[/quote]
