After heartbreaking loss, one family advocates for flu vaccination

(BPT) - Kennedy was a vibrant, healthy two-year-old until she developed a fever and tested positive for influenza (flu). As busy first-time parents, Kennedy's parents didn't realize that because her last wellness checkup fell outside flu season, they missed flu vaccination for her that year.

"Little did we know this critical misstep would change our lives forever," said Kennedy's mom, Megan Parks.
