People at higher risk of developing flu complications include: Young children; Older adults; Pregnant women; People with weakened immune systems; People who have chronic illnesses; Your best defense against influenza is to receive an annual vaccination. Initially, the flu may seem like a common cold with a runny nose, sneezing and sore throat. But colds usually develop slowly, whereas the flu tends to come on suddenly. And although a cold can be a nuisance, you usually feel much worse with the flu.
