Influenza causes an average of 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations every year across the country.
“The danger is not so much from the flu itself, but, if you’re sick with the flu, you are more susceptible for complications,” said Emily Gresham Wherle, public information manager for Northern Kentucky Health Department. “Pneumonia is a good example.”
