Having a disability alone may not make someone at higher risk for complications from the H1N1 virus, but other factors may put people with certain disabilities at higher risk.
People who have difficulty breathing (ventilator users and individuals with asthma and other respiratory conditions); individuals who have difficulty fighting infections or who are immunocompromised; and people of any age who have chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or sickle cell anemia, are at higher risk of acquiring the H1N1 infection.
