This is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's [CDC] most recent flu map:
WHY ELDERS NEED THE FLU VACCINE
The flu can be particularly dangerous – that is, life threatening – to

”Vaccination is especially important for people 65 years and older because they are at increased risk for complications from flu.”
