Here are a few tips for seniors to

follow to stay healthy and safe

during the colder seasons from the

Harrington Police Department.

Get the flu vaccine. The Centers

for Disease Control recommends

that adults aged 65 and older get a

flu vaccine each year, ideally by the end of

October. While the flu shot is recommended for

every person above six months of age, seniors

are especially at risk for complications from the

flu, such as pneumonia, bronchitis and ear in-

fections. The flu can also make any chronic

health problems worse.

Be wary of tripping hazards. People generally

experience stiffer joints in colder weather. Not

only might it be a bit harder to move around,

but it gets dark out early, and fallen leaves

create slipping hazards or even cover up

hazardous rocks that you can trip on. Make sure

leaves are cleared from sidewalks and driveways

on your property and that all walkways are

lighted to reduce your chances of a fall.
