Influenza poses a greater risk to certain people, including
pregnant women, children, and elders, who are all at high risk
for flu-related complications. In fact, pneumonia and flu are a
leading cause of death among Native elders. The flu also can
cause certain health conditions, including diabetes, asthma,
and heart and lung disease, to become worse. Pneumonia and
bronchitis are examples of serious flu-related complications,
which can result in hospitalization and sometimes even death.
