Now, they want to save your child<\/strong><\/a> – Two physicians who lost their young son to the flu last year want parents to listen to their message, born of great grief and suffering: Get your child a flu shot. Drs. Laura and Anthony Sidari\u2019s 4-year-old son, Leon, did not get the flu vaccine last year. He died on Christmas Day, less than 48 hours after he started feeling sick.\u00a0\u201cI didn\u2019t know a condition could kill a child that quickly who had been previously healthy,\u201d said Laura, a psychiatrist. \u201cThis has been a hard haul for us, and we\u2019re very private people, but we\u2019re trying to help other families.\u201d\u00a0Leon was one of 185 US children who died in the 2017-18 flu season, according to the\u00a0Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a historic high.\u00a0Approximately 80% of those children had not received a flu shot, according to the\u00a0CDC.<\/a>\u00a0Laura and Anthony, a rheumatologist, had wanted to get Leon and his 2-year-old brother flu shots at a pharmacy.
