Description:CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get an influenza (flu) vaccine every year. Vaccination is especially important for people 65 years and older because of their high risk of developing serious complications from flu.
People 65 years and older are at high risk of serious, flu-related complications because their immune systems become weaker with age. In addition, patients that have an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or
heart disease have an additional factor putting them at risk of serious complications from influenza.
