(WLUK) -- Wisconsin health officials announced Thursday that two children in the state, including one from Northeast Wisconsin, have died from respiratory illnesses so far this season.
One death was a result of COVID-19 and the other from influenza. Both occurred within the past month.
...................
Officials said they are working to confirm whether the children were vaccinated. Both had some underlying conditions that increased their risks.
DHS is urging everyone, especially young children, older adults, people with chronic health conditions, and women who are pregnant, to get vaccinated for flu, RSV and COVID-19. Six months is the earliest a child can be vaccinated for these illnesses.
