I would think when the vaccine becomes available there will be new "recommendations" regarding when to mask/unmask.
Latest data shows wearing a mask provides some risk reduction for the wearer. CDC is now recommending for personal protection.

Vaccines will not be 100% effective so probably good to continue wearing until infection rates are low.
