Chronic Health Issues Increase Risk.
Vaccines Reduce It.
Respiratory diseases like COVID-19, flu, pneumococcal disease, and RSV don’t affect everyone equally. For people with certain health issues – whether children or adults – the risks of severe illness, hospitalization, or even death are significantly higher.
Who’s at Higher Risk?
People living with conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease, weakened immune systems, and other chronic diseases face greater danger from respiratory illnesses. Vaccination can mean the difference between mild illness and life-threatening complications.
