Boy Who Lost Legs to Flu Inspires Life-Saving Comic Book Campaign
A Michigan boy who lost both legs to flu complications at just four years old has become the face of a new awareness campaign. Kaden Stevenson's battle with the virus inspired a comic book aimed at teaching children about the dangers of flu and the importance of vaccination. Kaden Stevenson's life changed dramatically when a severe flu infection led to sepsis. Doctors had to amputate both his legs to save his life. After months of rehabilitation, he regained strength and confidence with the support of medical specialists. The comic book and the Stevensons' advocacy work aim to prevent similar tragedies by encouraging vaccination. With flu cases on the rise, health officials stress that early protection remains the best defence against severe illness.
