Raising Awareness About the Flu and Vaccination in the Face of Tragedy

In the U.S., the Sidari family and organizations like Families Fighting Flu aim to help others through education and support. Leon Sidari’s parents have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for a nonprofit charity to help other families, and they hope to raise awareness about the importance of getting vaccinated through a #FluShotsforLeon Twitter campaign. Families Fighting Flu (FFF), a nonprofit organization based in Arlington, Virginia, helps protect families and communities from flu. Its board of directors includes parents of children who had to be hospitalized or died because of the flu.
