Alissa Kanowitz, whose 4-year-old little girl died from the flu, and Dr. Leah Smith, a pharmacist and vaccine educator at GSK, spoke to Newsline with Brigitte Quinn about why protecting against the flu is so critical. After Alissa's daughter passed away in 2004, she started the non-profit "Families Fighting Flu" to increase awareness about the virus and increase vaccination rates in order to lower hospitalization and death rates.
