Men have many hobbies. Talking about how they feel typically is not one of them. But sometimes all they need is a helping hand to reach out.

You both might feel a little better. #MentalHealthAwareness #MenTalk #BreakTheStigma #SupportMen #MentalHealthMatters #HealthyMinds #MenAndMentalHealth #NationalMentalHealthMonth #TalkAboutIt #ReachOut

Here’s the thing - you don’t need to obsess over every new variant. What matters is protecting yourself and those around you. Vaccination is your best defense, even if you’ve had COVID before. Think of it like upgrading your phone’s security - you wouldn’t skip updates, right? You’ve got options: spike protein or mRNA vaccines. Both work. Both keep you in the action. Remember, you have choices: whether you opt for the spike protein vaccine formulation or the mRNA vaccine formulation, both provide the protection you need. For more information on vaccine types and how to make the best choice for you, click the link below. 💉 https://ow.ly/lBr450THNfh
