@yadiragdelcid @HPEX353_1 I started journaling and tried meditating and both really helped me cope with stress! And I agree that breaks are also important.

May is Mental Health Awareness month, and as college students, we’re often overwhelmed and easily forget to cater to our mental health. What are some stress management methods you consider to be helpful? @HPEX353_1 #HPEX353_1 #HRD

@nooratari_ @HPEX353_1 I’ve experienced a change in my menstrual cycle after getting the vaccine, and if more women have seen changes as well, then I hope more research is done on this trend.

@npvcu @HPEX353_1 Yes I agree!

[Lydia Endalkachew @LEndalkachew_]

Even though millions of Americans have received the vaccine, we still need to ensure safety by following health guidelines! If we all continue to do our part, will the number of cases decrease at a faster rate? @HPEX353_1 #HPEX353_1 #HRD

[CDC @CDCgov]

Following health and safety measures that protect against #COVID19 helped reduce severe illness from March-October 2020, but cases rose during the winter. We can’t give up now. Keep doing your part to stop the spread. Get vaccinated. Wear a Mask. More: https://t.co/2D2kWEJgoS

@abdeza09 @HPEX353_1 I agree that we should be mindful of how we treat others because we’re not fully aware of what they might be going through behind closed doors.

The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has been linked to cases of blood clots. If you plan on getting vaccinated, it is heavily suggested to opt for Pfizer or Moderna. @HPEX353_1 #HPEX353_1 #HRD

[CDC @CDCgov]

While Johnson & Johnson’s #COVID19 Vaccine remains paused, you can still get the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine.

If you were scheduled to get the J&J vaccine, work with your vaccination provider to reschedule to get a different vaccine.

The use of substances can have a large negative impact on people who contract COVID-19, also indicating a higher fatality rate. Do you think this new information could possibly encourage people to no longer partake in substance use? @HPEX353_1 #HPEX354_1 #HRD

[CDC @CDCgov]

Substance use disorders can make you more likely to get severely ill from #COVID19. People who use drugs may also live with conditions that put them at increased risk for severe illness & should get a COVID-19 vaccine when one is available to them. More: https://t.co/qKHW300I4F.
