Here’s a not so friendly reminder:
Just because you have received the vaccine does NOT mean you can just do whatever you want now and stop wearing a mask and social distancing. The pandemic is still happening.
If the virus continues to spread, we give it more opportunities to mutate and adapt, which could lead to a variant that’s immune to the vaccine, which would mean everything we’ve been doing would be a waste of time. Until enough people get the vaccine and herd immunity is achieved, keep following the rules, wash your hands, social distance, and wear a mask.
Please especially remember that your immune system takes days or weeks to generate new antibodies. The reason so many people think a flu shot can *cause* flu is they get the shot and instantly let their guard down about germs.
