The vaccines are only 95% effective, which is great, but you still have to maintain some precautions, and wearing masks is still going to be important. I get my second shot, and I am still going to wear a mask and maintain social distancing until we reach herd immunity. That won’t come until at least 70% of the population have either had covid or have taken both doses of the vaccine.

If I ever manage to get the vaccine, My masks are going in the trash. Otherwise what is the point of getting them?

If it were me, I think I’d get the shot. Let us know what happens. ???

We always wear masks in the car so I’m really hoping that I’m gonna be safe. Here’s my issue…I’ve tried to find out whether I could still get my shot since I’m quarantined. NOBODY knows the right answers. I was finally told that if I had no symptoms I could get my shot but I’m worried…what if after getting shot today I could test positive tomorrow..,if I skip the shot today & continue being ok I was told I’d have to wait 14 days to get the shot. It’s too many “ifs” & nobody knows enough about this stuff. I’m told that those who have had the virus must wait 90 days to get shots…where does this leave me? All I can do is pray that I don’t become positive but what will happen if I end up with virus…will the shot make things worse? Who knows! I’m diabetic which makes me more likely to have a bad case. My husband is a smoker with COPD & autoimmune disease so we might not survive this….I just wish there was somebody who could give me the right advice.
