My son was born at 23 1/2 weeks. They gave him less than a 10% chance to make it. He weighed 1 lb 6 1/2 oz. Now he is 6 years old, as smart as a whip and very healthy. So to answer your question.... YES!

If the premature baby in question is actually still a baby, then they will be at a greater risk. However, if this is referring to an adult that was born prematurely "back then", their immune system has had plenty of time to catch up. Unless they have other, non-related, immune complications, they should not have any increased risk.
no of course not
