Flu Illness Can be Dangerous for People with Disabilities 

People with certain disabilities, especially those who may have trouble with muscle function, lung function, or difficulty swallowing or clearing fluids from their airways, are at increased risk of severe outcomes from flu. For these people, getting a flu vaccine is the most important action to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications. There are several vaccine options available and your doctor can recommend the one that is best for you.
