You must not have read or understood my previous post so I'll say it differently. The vaccine protects you from getting sick. It doesn't prevent you from getting the virus. A mask prevents you from spreading the virus to others if you have it.
After you've had both shots, you can still contract the virus and you can still give it to others. That is why it's necessary to wear a mask.
Once everyone that wants the vaccine receives it, masks will not longer be necessary.
The vaccine protects you, your mask protects others.
