widespread cases. the virus killedkrq 26ig children. our dr. holly phillips is here whiff the reasons behinds the numbers. good morning. we've heard the it's no the most effective vaccine this seasonsp and now it's almost everywhere the country? >> it is. overall this year the vaccine is only 23% effective. that means specifically it lowers your risk of needing to go to the doctor with simple tops of the flu by 23%. now, this is an average. the effective niz ranges. in kids it's more effective. kids between the ages of 6 and 17. but for people over the age of 50, it's only 14% effective. so these aren't great numbers we're seeing this year. >> how do they compare to other years? >> this is the second least effective vaccine in the last ten years. so it compares poorly. that's ultimately because it's not well-matched with the predominant strain circulating now, which is h3n2. basically, that strain drifted or mutated in some way after the

flu vaccine was already made. the reason this is is a big sprob that the left year wegvsaw h3n2 as a predominant strain aní; nasty flu season. 29,000 people died. atmosphere strain of the flu. >> people still go get vaccinated? >> a number of reasons to still get vaccinated. i see it, 23% of protection is better than zero. what you have if you actually don't get the shot. also, as flu season progresses later in the season you see the emergence of other strains. h1n1 and influenza b. this flu shot is well matched to those. you might get to see more protection as flu season progresses. >> do you think there are lessons to bef"b< learned here that maybe next year we'll do better? >> i certainly hope so. the vaccine effectiveness rangesh inwhere from 10% to 60% occasionally better. there are good things coming down the pipeline. efforts going into developing a universal flu vaccine.

which would be a one shot once in yourk< lifetime and it would protect you against many many strains of the flu. >> hmm. >> so we can keep our fingers crossed and let the scientists do their thing. >> still time for gayle to get her shot. >> still time. >> i'm just drinking a lot of tea. >> call me. >> thank you. dr. holly phillips thank you. an uproar about what will be the whiest academy awards in years. none of the top acting categories, not one, features a minority nominee. that spark add firestorm on social media, the #oscarssowhite. overshadows on twitter. michelle miller is with us8 the academy defends this position. good morning. >> good morning. a growing chorus calling for the academy to better reflect the demographics of america. this year's group of nominees have highlighted what some are calling a whitewashing of the industry's top honors. >> achievement --

be? >> you know, millions of americans are wondering how safe is the ground we walk on? dallas, texas, oklahoma city and now connecticut, hit with two earthquakes a day on average. now, they're small earthquakes at the level of magnitude 3. even though connecticut does not have a history of earthquakes, they do happen. they do happen. and remember, the northeast is different from california. there's no single gash like the san andreas fault in the northeast. we have small earthquake faults. deeper smaller and largely uncharted. >> so similar to those in virginia in 2011? >> that's right. that earthquake was 5.8 four years ago that actually cracked the washington monument felt over an area of several hundred miles. think of a dinner plate. that's a north american plate. small vibrations in the dinner plate will lock over the entire plate. that's why that small earthquake, 5.8, was felt in new york city and even into canada

as a consequence. and, remember, 10,000 years ago this plate was under ice. half a mile of ice. now the ice is gone. and thezp1q is rising and that's partly the reason why we have these small earthquakes. >> we know of course california, the san andreas fault line and connecticut. you believe connecticut is caused byñ"nature, different from the earthquakes felt in oklahoma. correct? >> that's right. there is rather mounting evidence that it's hydraulic fracking. now, realize that fracking isag caused when you inject waste water, large amounts under the ground to penetrate the shale deposit, break up the shale deposit and then you suck out the natural gas and the oil. >> so how worried should they be in connecticut? could you leave us on a good note or optimistic note? >> the good news is probably nothing will come out of this. >> okay. >> we're still charting these fault lines that are very deep and very short, but in 1812

america was semicolonial one of the largest earthquakes hit near the border of missouri and tennessee. they say it actually reversed the direction of the mississippi river. so big ones are possible, even if you don't have this gash on the surface of the earth called the san andreas fault. >> a good note you're leaving us on? >> for the most part. you can walk on the earth a and know that it's safe.dn remember, predict ang earthquake is like predicting a baby's bottom. >> okay. i refer we don't have time explain what that means. we have to go. professor, thank you so much. coming up how young is too young for children to walk home alone from the park? meet the parents they investigated for neglect over what they say is a lesson in self-reliance. plus, we'll preview a "48 hours" investigation and a cold case derailed by surprise courtroom twist. it's the only suspects in the murder didn't do it, then who did?

vestigate. gayle, this is a story that has people buzzing and taking sides. >> i can imagine. chip, i actually see both sides. that rafi is a very mature little boy. the parents think they know their child and it's in their neighborhood but these are different times. >> apart from this case there's something to be said about developing self-reliance. >> it's not the kids. it's the people around them. it's nation will continue. ahead a robbery suspect wit

good morning. >> good morning. you know i was telling gayle earlier, i've also lost four of the championships as well. i always thought, i was telling gayle, i said the pressure to win this game this week to me is more than the pressure to win the super bowl. you go to the super bowl and you go through the fanfare. this game you're so close. there will be a lot of pressure this weekend. >> andrew luck has become a great quarterback. >> he is. i mean what we're watching before our eyes, for three straight years, they've gone to the playoffs won their division the last two. he goes into denver where they lost week one, goes against peyton and that offense and puts up big numbers, brings his team to go against tom brady. >> bill belichick and tom brady together have been pretty good. >> i hear people talking about the passing of a torch. do you see that? >> i think so. two of the four quarterbacks

russell wilson andrew luck in their third year you talk about tom brady, 37 years old, aaron rodgers in the middle with 31 years old. it's very encouraging. it's a natural progression taking place. i think russell wilson andrew luck these could be playoff perennials in the upcoming years. >> let's talk about the other big matchup, the seahawks versus the packers. >> yes. >> what do you think there? >> well i think aaron rodgers' health, he's got a calf injury. he moved around okay last week. i think eddie lacy -- >> he played incredibly well. >> he's an incredible quarterback. the guy can throw the ball within the pocket. you're going into a place that's very loud, the 12th man, the seattle seahawks' defense can get after you. they have to get the running game going. >> can i ask you about eddieaaron rodgers? i was talking to a trainer, who said aaron rodgers had to be in tremendous pain after that game.

>> it's an injury that will limit him. when you look at aaron rodgers, you can see what kind of leader he is. he has a presence about him. he will be limited, but this guy has a special arm. he's got good cast around him and they have a good defense as well. >> and he has experience. >> yes. >> what about having been there before? >> there's a lot to that charlie. think when you look at bill belichick and tom brady, they've been in this situation chuck pagano andrew luck their first championship game. those two guys there, brady and belichick, they're special. bill belichick has a way of coming up with something creative. last week they threw the ball 50 times. against indianapolis in week 11 they ran the ball 40 times. i think for chuck pagano and andrew luck, they're on a magical run. think this will be a classic matchup. >> what do you think about home field advantage? talk about the seattle seahawks.

their reputation is they're the loudest fans in the league some of them. there are some places in seattle territory they're not even selling cheese. i was reading about this the other day. how big a deal is home field advantage? >> it is. although i will say i lost four of those championship games at home in pittsburgh. we had a good advantage. the biggest thing is, it definitely helps the defense. when you're looking at their pass rush it makes them -- they're good to begin with. it makes it even more special in a game. talk about the mobility of aaron rodgers. it will be important that they don't get into passing situations long yardage situations. it's a difficult place to play. they are loud there. >> one quick thing, you have not enjoyed a super bowl until you've sat next to this guy for the entire game and listened to his commentary. >> i've enjoyed it. enjoy the game. >> great to see you. green bay plays sunday afternoon and indianapolis and new england decide the afc title, cbs sports coverage of the afc championship begins with
