The Immune system weakens with age, even if you are healthy and active, making it harder to fight disease. As a result, people 65 years of age and older are more likely to catch the flu and experience complications. Learn what you need to know about the flu. Join the National Council on Aging to educate older adults and their caregivers on how to help protect themselves against the flu.
