Vaccinations are part of aging-in-place!
AskSAMIE has partnered with the Kansas Department of Health & Education to shed light on the under-used tool of prevention. 90% of older adults want to age-in-place but there are so many factors that can make that hard.
Illness is one of them and it can be a slippery slope! For example, having COVID can decrease your tolerance for activity and when you move less you're at risk for things like pneumonia, muscle weakness and falls! None of those things help you stay living at home safely.
So start at the beginning - prevent illness with adult vaccinations and age well at home!
