A three-year-old Indiana girl who died from the flu Monday was not vaccinated, according to local news outlets.

Alivia Viellieux, passed away in her sleep at her Muncie, Indiana home after being discharged from Ball Memorial Hospital last Thursday, WRTV reported.

Her family says they were advised not to give their daughter the flu shot, according to local media reports.

“Alivia did not have [the flu vaccine] because they had told us once the flu is going around, it’s not going to matter if you get it or not,” the toddler’s grandmother, Tameka Stettler, told WRTV.

Delaware county coroner Scott Hahn told the Star Press that Viellieux died from the flu and a secondary infection of pneumonia.

The 3-year-old’s passing is the first pediatric flu death in Muncie, Ind., Hahn told the newspaper.

So far, 167 flu deaths and three school-wide outbreaks have been reported in Indiana this flu season, according to the Indiana State Department of Health’s weekly influenza report. »
