This is key
It’s been a long year, & I can sense hesitancy from the public health community about being too vocal on what is “safe”— but once you are fully vaccinated, you have excellent protection from severe disease!
When around those who aren’t yet vaccinated, wear a mask ⬇️

2/ I think part of the hesitancy is that “safe” and “unsafe” is a nonspecific framing.
Safe from what? From severe disease? Hospitalization? Death?
Yes, once vaccinated, the chance of this happening is extremely low. We have excellent trial data showing this.

3/ Is it possible to still get #covid19 after vaccinated? It’s possible- but it is much more likely to be *mild* disease
Can you transmit onwards? Yes, although vaccines likely ⬇️ this chance as well
This is why we say to wear a mask around those still waiting for their shots

4/ In short, vaccines that we have are excellent. They absolutely are the key step toward getting back to doing the things we love.
We need to vaccinate as fast as possible.
We need to focus on our most vulnerable groups, which we are still *not doing* well in our distribution
