While the Center for Disease Control has NOT mandated masks, unless you are fully boosted and have a strong immune system, it might be good to don that mask again, this week. We shall be returning home through airports filled with people who have been exposed. And if you motored, you’ve been in service stations and convenience stores with millions who have likewise traveled and enjoyed family and all of the viruses to which they have been exposed. In short, mask up, today. And, take advantage of the FREE COVID-19 and FLU SHOTS that are available right now at Health Connections, Inc.
