Even though it is “futile” to predict the severity of the upcoming flu season, health experts say people should get their shot early to lower their chances of catching the disease.

Typically the flu season begins in October and continues through May. However, experts say residents should not wait to get their flu shot, as it will protect them for the entire season. They note that the flu is always circulating and activity is already picking up in Texas.

While it is recommended that everybody over 6 months old get the flu shot, experts said it is especially important for pregnant women, people over the age of 65, very young children and people with underlying chronic health conditions because of increased risk of complications from the flu.

A window-cleaning service staffed by men in kilts that started in Metro Vancouver more than a decade ago is now focusing on expanding its unique brand throughout the U.S.

From its start in 2002, Men In Kilts has expanded to Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto as well as Seattle, Boston, New Jersey and Philadelphia.

CEO Tressa Wood said her goal is to be in every major market in North America by 2017.

"There are about 50 on the list we're targeting," she said. "We might look at smaller markets, as well."

Now that fall has arrived, there are some things you should clean and maintain inside the home.

For example, changing your furnace filter and cleaning or replacing your humidifier drum or pad is a good start to the fall heating season. You should also think about cleaning your air ducts because the dust and dirt that accumulates in them can reduce the efficiency of your furnace as well as increase your chances for allergy problems in the winter.

Gary Marowske of Flame Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, (888) 234-2340, flamefurnace.com, suggests having your ducts cleaned every five years. And more often than not, there are things besides dust that accumulates in the air ducts.

“We see a lot of homes where the kids have dropped things in the heating vents like coins, candy or toys,” he said. “And it isn’t unusual to find pop bottles and other debris stuck in the ducts that were left by the contractors when the home was being built. So even if your home is fairly new, you should still consider getting the ducts cleaned.”

"Contrary to some beliefs, getting the flu shot in September is a good thing and will offer protection for the entirety of the flu season," Dr. Stephen Russell, an associated professor in the general internal medicine division at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said in a university news release.
