It's great to see the availability of COVID vaccines expanding, and the information from LDH is helpful for those seeking access. In times like these, prioritizing health is essential. Alongside keeping ourselves physically healthy, mental and emotional well-being is also important. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, seeking support from a rehabilitation centre can be a crucial step toward healing. Stay informed and take care of both your physical and mental health!
