Illinois doctors plead with parents to get flu shots for kids, amid hospital crowding
Briefly

Illinois health leaders are pleading with parents to get their children vaccinated against the flu, which is increasingly spreading in the Chicago area and threatening to further stretch already-strained children's hospitals."We expect the number of children needing care for these viruses to increase significantly over the next several weeks," said Dr. Larry Kociolek, medical director of infection, prevention and control at Lurie Children's, referring to respiratory illnesses and the flu at a news conference Thursday.
