As of today, I am considered to be officially vaccinated and just in time for the face mask mandate to be lifted this upcoming Friday!
But there is still quite a large population of people who have not been vaccinated just yet...by choice.
And listen, there is nothing wrong with that. In difficult times like this, we all have to do what we are comfortable with.
But a friend of mine, whose name I will not disclose, brought up a valid concern that he has.
"I am not vaccinated and do not plan on getting vaccinated for a little while. There is just something about it that makes me nervous. But now that the face mask mandate is lifted for those who are vaccinated, I will stick out like a sore thumb. Do I need to worry about what will happen when walking into a store or movie theater with a face mask on?"
