What Is Type A Flu?
7. Who’s At Risk?
Anybody can fall ill with the flu, even people with the strongest of immune systems. However, some people are more prone to the disease than others are. This includes people who are over the age of 65, while particularly young people are also in a higher risk category.
People with a weakened immune disease are also in a higher risk category, as are people with certain other medical conditions. Not only are certain people more likely to fall ill, but these people are also more likely to develop serious complications. Anybody that is in a higher risk category should be monitored, and a doctor should be called as soon as serious symptoms emerge.
