In reply to the discussion: Mask up even if vaccinated. Even if Vaccinated! [View all]Freyda99
(4 posts)I am living in a state that has a fairly high rate of vaccination, but a county that lags behind on vaccination rate. Even after receiving my second shot I continue to mask up everywhere outside my home. Even outdoors, if in a place where other people are around I will wear it. Initially this had to do with my awareness that many unvaccinated folks are running around maskless, but now it has a lot to do with the Delta variant. I have people in my extended family, younger people in their 20s and 30s who will not get vaccinated because they are Trump acolytes. My policy on seeing relatives right now is that if they are not vaccinated, I will not visit. My feeling with the rising rates of infection now is that the next Covid tsunami is right around the corner, and there will be many, many breakthrough infections. I hope to avoid this for myself and my family.
I bought a pin on Etsy that says "Fully Vaccinated." I pin it to the side of my mask. I want people seeing me to know that I am wearing a mask, not because I won't be vaccinated, but because I care about keeping myself and everyone else safe. If anyone asks why I am still masking even though vaccinated, I am happy to explain.
