I will still be wearing my mask when I'm around crowds, even after my 2nd jab has taken full effect. It does feel like the end is in sight, though. <br /><br />Good for you! I hope it is restful and not scary with forest fires.

Personally (especially since I only have my first vaccine at this point), I'm remaining masked up anytime I'm in a public setting and don't plan to stop sporting one anytime soon.
