Vulnerability

I feel a bit thick so maybe someone could help . My 22 year old son have mechanical valve fitted last year . Is he classed as vulnerable . He worries so much about everything so to have this on his mind isn’t good .

Bless,possibly.I'm 25 and had a Heart Valve repair in 2015 but my Valve is still leaking :/.I guess even though is fixed and has a new valve he's had the op and immune system can be compromised and also possibly the disease could target the new valve.It's hard to say really to some people yes to some not abit like me probably in high risk area but could shake off better than someone with a really bad heart condition or lung condition and ofc age can help too.He's also young so that can help.
