1/ Yes, the mask has to stay on after you're vaccinated -- at least for a little while. I spoke with @robyn_s_lee and @JPSoucy about why, here: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/12/10/yes-the-mask-stays-on-after-you-get-vaccinated-heres-why.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=Health&utm_content=
2/ Until we reach 70% herd immunity, social distancing and masking measures will need to continue, though likely not to the same degree we're seeing now. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/12/10/yes-the-mask-stays-on-after-you-get-vaccinated-heres-why.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=Health&utm_content=
3/ The vaccines will protect against symptomatic COVID-19. What we don't know is if vaccinated people could spread it asymptomatically to those without immunity. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/12/10/yes-the-mask-stays-on-after-you-get-vaccinated-heres-why.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=Health&utm_content=
4/ “The key issue is that if people are vaccinated, and they can still spread it, then that’s a risk to the people who aren’t vaccinated,” Dr. Lee said. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/12/10/yes-the-mask-stays-on-after-you-get-vaccinated-heres-why.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=Health&utm_content=
5/ But the end is in sight, @JPSoucy says. We can't forget COVID-19 exists - but the grip it has over our lives will be much looser. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/12/10/yes-the-mask-stays-on-after-you-get-vaccinated-heres-why.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMedia&utm_campaign=Health&utm_content=
