There’s no way to know for sure how COVID will affect you. But there are certain factors that make some people more likely than others to get very sick:
• Older age—risk for severe illness from COVID increases with age, especially for people 50 and older.
• Compromised or weakened immune system—either due to a medical condition or medication that weakens the

• Certain health issues— having one or more particular health issues increases your risk more than others. And the more you have, the higher your risk.

It could save your life.
