Yes, anyone with chronic lung diseases will be at higher risk for the infection. See the related question below for a list of those at higher risk.

Influenza is an infectious disease also commonly known as Flu. It’s an acute respiratory infection caused by Influenza Virus A and Virus B. Central BioHub's is an online biospecimen marketplace. It offers high-quality, well-defined influenza disease biospecimens collected from patients suffering from influenza infections. To check more visit our website.
Influenza, specifically the H1N1 influenza virus, was the disease which killed more than 1000 Australians in 1918.
Influenza A and influenza B are two different types of the flu virus. Influenza A is more common and can infect both humans and animals, while influenza B mainly affects humans. Influenza A has more subtypes and can cause more severe outbreaks, while influenza B typically causes milder symptoms.
A virus does not cause a disease but it will weapon your immune system and make you more susceptible to contracting diseases.

For the 3-6 months that the vaccine would have provided an improved immunity against influenza, the unvaccinated horse will be more susceptible to contracting influenza than a vaccinated horse.
Influenza A is generally considered the worst type due to its ability to cause more severe illness, pandemics, and higher transmission rates compared to Influenza B and C. Influenza A viruses have more genetic variability, allowing them to rapidly evolve and potentially develop resistance to antiviral medications.
The influenza virus is not living any more than other viruses. It has no life processes.
The influenza viruses are identified by and given names that correspond with the proteins on the capsid of the virus (outside coating of the virus). For example, the two proteins on the H1N1/09 virus are Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase, therefore the virus is called H1N1.The name of any mutations of the H1N1/09 influenza virus, would follow this same naming convention and it would be called by the name that is descriptive of the particular proteins it has on the capsid after the mutation.See the related question below for more information on the naming of influenza viruses.
Influenza is an RNA virus because its genetic material is made up of RNA. RNA viruses like influenza are able to mutate more rapidly than DNA viruses, which contributes to the virus's ability to evolve quickly and evade host immunity.
Of the United States soldiers who died in Europe, half of them fell to the influenza virus and not to the enemy. An estimated 43,000 servicemen who were mobilized for WWI died of influenza.
