High-risk groups—including young children, elderly adults, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying chronic conditions—are particularly vulnerable to severe symptoms. Annual vaccination remains the most effective, clinically proven line of defense to protect yourself, safeguard your family, and curb community transmission.
