Reporter at The Times of Israel

A 4-year-old boy from northern Israel has died from the flu, the Health Ministry says.

This is the fourth child to die of the flu in the past few weeks.

The boy, who suffered from serious diseases, was not vaccinated against the flu.

The ministry says that although the flu vaccine does not completely prevent illness, it reduces the severity in most cases.
