Flu vaccines often have lower effectiveness than other immunizations because vaccine manufacturers have to predict which strains of influenza will be prevalent in the community when they design the shot — a best guess that doesn’t always turn out to be correct.
Alberta released updated data on flu infections and severe illness Thursday, the first time it has done so in two weeks. The province has also logged 77 flu deaths, with 20 of those newly reported Thursday. That total includes two children under age 10.There are also now more options for Alberta parents looking to immunize their kids against COVID-19.
