The childhood vaccinations would not have helped in the slightest, and this year's flu shot was a poor match for the influenza going around.

I know everybody loves to hate anti-vaxxers, but people need to use a bit of logic (not to mention compassion).

Now she may be fair game for neglecting to give the child Tamiflu, which may have helped.
