This priority system was based upon the risks of serious illness or death from the pandemic flu. Most otherwise healthy teens have mild influenza symptoms and fully recover, but the risk of more serious complications remains. All of us have a risk of death from the flu, and that is why the vaccinations are being encouraged by the medical community for everyone who has no medical reason why they can not get vaccinated.
