If there’s a chance that you have COVID-19, it’s best to get tested before heading to your vaccine appointment. “We don’t want you coming in and infecting other people,” says John Sellick, D.O., an infectious disease expert and professor of medicine at the University at Buffalo/SUNY in New York.
William Schaffner, M.D., an infectious disease specialist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, agrees. “In the current environment where there’s so much COVID still being spread, wait until your illness has resolved, just to be safe,” he advises.
In addition to preventing the spread of COVID-19, you’ll also be doing yourself a favor: “If you have a stuffy nose and are feeling crummy, the vaccine could make you feel even crummier,” says Dr. Schaffner, who points to the typically mild but expected side effects of the vaccine.

I m sure that you have seen or spoken to several people on both sides of the fence as it relates to taking off the mask for good. According to WIVB, the CDC is expected to ease up on certain guidelines. Some experts have said that being outdoors poses less risk to being infected than being indoors, but with that information are you willing to risk taking off your mask outdoors and around a crowd of people?

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. A local nursing home has most of its residents vaccinated and has never seen a COVID case until now.

They are far, far better than we ever remotely thought they would be, said Dr. John Sellick, epidemiologist at Kaleida Health.
