What Things Can You Do After Getting Your Covid Vaccination?

After the 1st phase of COVID vaccination, the 2nd phase has started and already lakhs of people over the age of 60 as well as people over 45 years or above who have comorbidities have been vaccinated.

Vaccination is continuing uninterrupted and this has come as a breath of fresh air to everyone after a terrible year of pain, loss, grief, and anxiety. Even though most of the vaccines that are being administered across the globe have undergone multiple trials and have been found to be effective in the trial phases, we don’t yet know if these vaccines offer partial immunity or complete immunity.

We don’t even know how long the vaccines will continue to be effective. There will be further studies that will find answers to these questions. But for now, we can all take heart to the fact that the vaccines will help us fight off the coronavirus.

So, can you visit your friends and family? If all of you have been vaccinated then small gatherings can be permitted. However, you must continue taking all precautions like use of face cover or masks, hand sanitization and maintain social distancing. But if your loved ones haven’t been vaccinated, avoid visiting them for their own good. You will not come to any harm but you could be a carrier of COVID and pass it on to your family members or friends.

After vaccination, you will be safer in public places. Even so, you have to continue wearing masks, follow social distancing and avoid going to large-sized gatherings. As for going on a vacation, after vaccination, you can go on a small local vacation when you know that more or less everyone in your state is vaccinated. Local safe travels are possible. But planning an international holiday may be unwise because new COVID strains are originating and there is a possibility that our vaccines may not be effective against those. Wait until scientists give us the ‘all clear’.

It is impossible to say whether the ‘old norm’ will ever be back again. The threat of an even more dangerous virus cannot be discounted. But did you know that wearing masks and sanitization can keep you safe from most viruses? So let us all continue to maintain hygiene protocol.
