San Diego health officials are urging flu vaccinations after three unvaccinated teenagers died this season. Dr. Ankita Kadakia warns that nearly 80% of local 5- to 17-year-olds haven't received the flu shot. With 73 total deaths, officials recommend annual flu shots for everyone over 6 months old and remind that the flu vaccine does not protect against COVID-19. Vaccines are available and often covered by insurance.
