Risk Factors for Gripe Covid

Certain factors increase an individual's risk of developing Gripe Covid. These include: * Older age * Having a weakened immune system * Underlying health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or chronic lung disease * Being unvaccinated against influenza or COVID-19
