According to the Maine Center for Disease Control, influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and death. Although anyone can get sick from the flu, certain populations are at a higher risk of having flu-related complications. They include young children, people aged 50 or older, health care personnel, pregnant women, people with chronic lung disease, diabetes, heart disease, neurologic conditions and certain other long-term health conditions.
