There is no proof that children are more prone or susceptible to the virus. It can be harmful to every human of all ages.

According to the World Health Organization, children may be more vulnerable to avian influenza A (H5N1) due to their closer interaction at schools and day-care centres, as well as their greater likelihood of coming into contact with poultry or bird faecal matter during play.
