If You Had/Have Had A Covid Vaccine

[nailit]

Would you still wear a mask?

[bednobs]

for what? There are many places that wont let you in without one/wont let you work without one

[derek-33]

Of course it only gives so much much protection and you'd never get into a supermarket etc still without one

[woofgang]

yep why not?

[bobbinwales]

And you can still infect people even after the vaccinne's taken effect. And its not 100% effective anyway. So YES in situations where we after wear one previously and continue not to in situations where a dont wear one now like when out walking or sitting at home or in the car

[bookbinder]

I had the first shot of the vaccine today, but I won't stop wearing a mask when and where it is required.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes I would.

[TonyV]

I always wear a mask whenever I go out, might lower it a bit to make breathing through my nose easier, but raise it if anyone is walking on pavement.

[MartinMillar]

Of course

[nailit]

Why would you wear a mask if youve had a vaccine against covid?
Would you wear a mask after a flu jab?

[bobbinwales]

Because am not selfish and thats the advice of the medical experts and epademiologists who understand the virus more that you or me does. Hopefully once enough have the vaccine we can sensisbly us ethem less

[bednobs]

i only waer a mask in places where i an required to, When i have had the vaccine, those laces will still require me to wear a mask

[woofgang]

Nailit "Why would you wear a mask if youve had a vaccine against covid?
Would you wear a mask after a flu jab?"

No but I wouldn't wear a mask before a flu jab. For the millionth time COVID IS NOT FLU and yes I am shouting

[Zacs-Master]

bobbin has given a pretty definitive answer.

[Sqad]

Yes, I can see a good reason why I should wear a mask during an Influenza outbreak, before and after a vaccination.
Problem is that not enough people die of influenza as even with over a 1000 deaths a week, some ofthe public are not convinced enough to wear a mask.
The Asian countries can't see a problem, but the Western World see it rather differently.
Yes, I would wear a mask during an Influenza outbreak.

[Sqad]

1000 deaths a day.....a day.

[Peter Pedant]

yes

rather obvious really - it doesnt give 100% protection from the second you have had the injection

[New Judge]

//The Asian countries can't see a problem,...//

Indeed not sqad. They've been roaming about in them for years. And that's one very good reason why they should be ditched here asap. The UK is not an Asian country.

Leaving aside the dubious benefits of masks, the legislation is not sophisticated enough to discriminate between those who have had a vaccination and those who have not, so everybody will have to continue to comply with the law whether they've been vaccinated or not..

[gness]

Of course. It would be selfish not to until this is over. Far too many folk are finding reasons not to wear a mask as it is. Imagine what they'll be like when they have the vaccine.

[pastafreak]

The purpose of a mask is so that *you* can protect others.
So, you decide. I'll continue to wear one.

[Ellipsis]

The mask is to protect others from you ... you rely on everybody else wearing a mask for your own protection.

There is insufficient evidence that those who have had a vaccination can't carry and pass on the virus (even if they're protected themselves, which is not 100% guaranteed) so, yes, they still have to wear a mask for your protection.
