Stay Diligent Even After Vacc 03-09-21 08:58 S.S.

Doctors  with  knowledge  of  infection  prevention  are  recommending  that  even  after  people  have  received  the  vaccine,  they  stay  diligent  about  wearing  their  masks  and  social distancing.    That’s  so  that  they  give  their  bodies  a  chance  to  develop  immunity....and  also  protect  the  people  around  them.     They  list  concerns  about  some  of  the  new  variants  that  have  been  found  locally....and  that  people  are  starting  to  travel  again, and  some  of  those  are  vaccinated  while  others  are  not...and also  that  as people  start  to gather  in  larger  groups,  the  odds  of  catching  Covid-19  go  back  up  again,  because  it’s unclear  if  all  of  the  variants  will  respond  to  the  current vaccines.
