Abstract
Age related immune changes are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. These changes place the individual at increased risk for the development of infection and in the time of a global pandemic increase the risk of acquiring COVID-19. This paper reviews age related immunologic changes focusing on how older adults are at increased risk. Attention is paid to preventative measures.
