I have had both of my vaccination doses, but I still wear a mask indoors in public places.

From what I understand, the vaccine does not prevent one from contracting the virus. It prevents a person from getting very ill or dying when they do contract the virus. I also understand that if you have been vaccinated and get the virus that you can still pass it on to others. My understanding is also that masks protect those around the wearer more so than they do the wearer.

So until everyone over the age of 40 that wants to the vaccine gets it, I will continue to wear a mask in public indoors as a courtesy to my fellow human beings.
