A new analysis by the C.D.C. shows that flu-related hospitalizations are highest among young children and older adults due to their less robust immune systems.
Flu infections lead to up to 710,000 hospitalizations and 51,000 deaths each year in the U.S., underscoring its severe impact on public health.
Predominant Type A influenza viruses, particularly H3N2, contribute to the highest hospitalization rates, primarily affecting older adults more severely.
Children with neurological disorders face exacerbated flu symptoms, as their conditions hinder muscle function and proper airway clearance, increasing risk of complications.
