After Ho Wing Chui got his second vaccination at the San Mateo County Event Center earlier this month, he felt different. The 74-year-old said he felt free.
In early March, Chui, who lives in the Half Moon Bay senior complex on Main Street, joined the growing ranks of people who can resume some normal activities, like gathering with friends and family. These activities remain largely discouraged for all except those fully vaccinated.
Under the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, fully vaccinated people can gather indoors without a mask with other vaccinated people or with people from one other unvaccinated household, barring any serious risk to COVID-19.
