Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. emoticon bashful

As the discussions continue on the end of the COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing measures, you may have some questions about the use of protective face masks.

We've made a little guide to help us all learn how to properly use and wear a mask! Take a look at it below!

Have you been able to obtain any masks for you and your loved ones? Where did you find them? Do you currently or are you planning on using them every time you go out?

Feel free to share with us here! We're here to help on another, especially in this time of public health crisis.

Take care,

Courtney

Yes. I'm fully vaccinated and I plan to wear my mask even after the mandate ends. Also, methotrexate, one of my medications, would make me get sicker than most because it's an immunosuppressant.

I'm planning on wearing mine indoors for a while. Outside I feel like it's less of a risk, but in any indoor situation like a restaurant, bar, gym, etc., I don't feel comfortable.

I will continue to wear my mask whenever I'm out or around people. Because I have my shot but my immune system is stopping the vaccine from working the way it should be because of the medication I'm taking to lower my immune system.

The first time I ditched the mask was May 23 in the church at my daughter's Confirmation.  The bishop had said that anyone that was fully vaccinated didn't have to.  I will continue to wear a mask at Walmart and anywhere that I'm required to.  Other than that, if there's a sign stating that fully vaccinated people can ditch their masks, I'm going to.  I had to wear a mask today to sign the consent form for my 16-year-old daughter to have her first COVID-19 vaccination at her school.

I have been vaccinated already, but I will still choose to wear my mask, especially if I'm anywhere that has a lot of people in it like restaurants, grocery stores, trip to my doctor's office, anywhere where it's indoors, just to be safe.

I've been fully vaccinated since mid April. If I am outside, I don't wear a mask. If in a store, I do. While I am vaccinated, I simply don't trust people that aren't, because vaccination has been made to be a very politically charged issue, when it shouldn't be.

I got fully vaccinated back in March. And I still continue to wear my mask in any sort of public setting unless family or friends. Even though I’ve had both shots I still feel like I’d rather be safe than sorry. But a lot of my family is immuno comprised. And I have no problem going around them without a mask. Because I know I’m being very careful. And the shot added to that comfort. But I wouldn’t feel as comfy if I didn’t still wear a mask

I am fully vaccinated, but also on active chemotherapy treatment, so most of the places I go are health care settings where masks are still required.  I am the only one with a mask at church, but I have been quick to explain that I am unsure of my immune system because of my chemo and want to be safe -- maybe safer than I really need to be.  And everyone understands.  At stores I wear one and no one has confronted me about it.  But if they do I will explain about my chemo and go on about my shopping.  I have gone to a couple of outdoor things unmasked and that felt ok.
