Isn MDA overreacting, canceling all the camps because just a few kids came down with the flu?
Some children attending camp have weakened respiratory muscles and are more vulnerable to the flu and possibly, pneumonia. We talked with the Centers for Disease Control frequently on Friday as part of our decision-making process and they agreed that this decision was the prudent thing to do based on the increased vulnerability of these children. It would be catastrophic if just one child attending summer camp got the flu and died because of resulting complications.
