Sometimes a cold is so much worse for this group of people, sure. It can be deadly, but just as often (or more) raises the chance of complications.

The diseases we tend to vaccinate against aren't the common cold, though. They are worse. So much worse. As in, they can be deadly or create lifelong complications in healthy folks. It can be a quick death sentence for compromised folks - much worse than the common cold.



I can agree it is worth vaccinating the population to protect such people.
