This is the #1 question I get asked: What can newly vaccinated do? Is it safe to see grandkids?
Though there are still unknowns, we need to give a better answer than "follow all precautions".

The #covid19 vaccine is extremely protective against severe disease. There's growing evidence that it may reduce the likelihood of people being carriers.
People should resume essential activities but were being put off--like cancer screenings & dental screenings. (2/5)

It's probably fine to resume some non-essential activities, like going to the gym & out to eat. People should still abide by masking & distancing in case they can infect others. I'd still avoid crowded bars--& be extra cautious if others in your home are unvaccinated. (3/5)
What about grandparents who want to see their families? If the reason the visits didn’t occur before was concern for the elderly, then many families may decide it’s fine now because the grandparents are protected. Wear masks during travel & limit social gatherings before. (4/5)
We finally have #covid19 #vaccines that provide extraordinary protection. Let’s help people use them to protect themselves while reclaiming some degree of normality and giving everyone hope for a post-pandemic future. (5/5)
