Once you receive a vaccination for COVID-19, what are you free to do? What restrictions are still critical for keeping yourself and loved ones safe?
Do I still have to wear a mask?
Yes.
The vaccine does not offer 100% protection. Some people will have a better immune response than others. And right now there is no guarantee how long immunity lasts.
Can I see my family once that I have the shot?
Yes – with restrictions.
Try to wait until everyone is vaccinated before getting together. Continue to wear a mask especially around the most vulnerable of your loved ones.
Is the vaccine a free pass to travel?
Experts say travel is ok, you will be less at risk, but precautions are always recommended.
