Vaccinations are part of aging-in-place!
AskSAMIE has partnered with the Kansas Department of Health & Education to shed light on the importance of prevention. 90% of older adults want to age-in-place but so many factors can make that hard.
Illness is one of them and it can be a slippery slope! For example, having COVID can decrease your activity tolerance and when you are moving less you're at risk for things like pneumonia, 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!
