Unvaccinated Children, Elderly Face Much Higher Risk of Major Flu Complications: Official The recent warning from Hong Kong's Director of Health, Ronald Lam Man kin, about the risks of flu complications for unvaccinated children and the elderly has sparked a heated debate.
The city is struggling to contain an increasing number of influenza cases, with some interpreting this data as evidence that vaccination efforts are failing or being misguided.
According to Lam, those who opt out of vaccinations are four to five times more likely to face serious complications or mortality from flu infections.
