So if you hear me mentioning A-N-E, that's what it's referring to. And pediatric cases of A-N-E, as well as other flu-related cephalopathies are on the rise. In 2024 and 2026, through the season, there were 109 children diagnosed with rare complications. 84% of the children with influenza associated with cephalopathy and were vaccinated as was known were not vaccinated in the U.S. 280 pediatric flu deaths in 2024, which was the deadliest since 2009 and 10. That was the 2009 and 10 H1N1 pandemic. Flu vaccination rates for children have also fallen. No one can really predict which kids are going to develop most severe forms of influenza, which is why vaccinations are important to stopping.
