Persons who were born before 1957 had a reduced risk of infection …  Persons who were born between 1957 and 1975 were at intermediate risk for infection. 1

In Ontario, people over 53 years old had about 1/6 the chance2 of getting the new H1N1; the those between about 33 and 53 had a little more than half the chance (odds ratios of about .15 and .42, respectively).
