yes. first and foremost everyone 6 months of age and older should get a yearly flu vaccine. however there are people that are more likely to get flu complications that result in being hospitalized and occasionally even result in death. these high risk people include children younger than 5 years old but especially those younger than 2 adults 65 years and older pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions like asthma diabetes and heart disease.
are there some people at higher risk of having complications from the flu if they don’t get vaccinated?
