- Ray and Stella Ross
Husband with COPD and His Wife, Household Contact
- Ray Ross is over 75 years of age and has emphysema, a progressive chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As a result of his emphysema, Ray is at increased risk of developing complications from the flu. Influenza vaccination should be given annually to anyone who has a chronic medical condition like COPD. It's also important for anyone who is a household contact to get immunized every year.1 Not only does Ray get a flu shot each year, but his wife Stella does as well to ensure she does not bring the virus home to her husband.
