No, You Are Not 100% Safe Even If You're Fully Vaccinated
Here's a gentle reminder that you are still susceptible to the COVID-19 virus even if you're fully vaccinated! Even if you may not get sick, it is possible that you can still carry and transmit the virus to people you come in contact with, especially if they have not yet been vaccinated.
With that being said, all individuals should still continue to practice public health measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing while around other people until the COVID-19 virus is completely eradicated. #kitajagakita
Stay safe and take good care of yourself and your loved ones as we tide through these tough times together!
