Relief for Seniors as More and More are Fully Vaccinated

It is a big sigh of relief for more and more seniors as they get vaccinated and are able to once again make plans to reconnect with grandkids, family and friends in person. The CDC reports it is safe for individuals who are fully vaccinated (after a period of 2 weeks) to visit others who are fully vaccinated or visit unvaccinated low-risk family members from a single household indoors without masks. 

The extended time apart has some grandparents worrying the grandkids may not feel as comfortable with them as they once did. Despite regular Zoom and FaceTime calls, we know it is not the same as hanging out together face-to-face but experts say it should not take much time at all for relationships to feel more natural.    

There is still a precaution on traveling distances to visit family but many medical professionals feel it is just a matter of time before the CDC approves airline travel for fully vaccinated people. Current guidelines say vaccinated people still need to wear masks and maintain social distancing when with unvaccinated people from more than one household or with anyone at high-risk for severe illness from COVID. They say avoid medium or large-size crowds. If you are exposed to someone with COVID, it is not necessary to get a COVID test unless you have symptoms.

Many seniors are happy to emerge from social isolation and are slowing considering doing the things they did before the pandemic. Following guidelines, some are going back to church, attending exercise classes, resuming their volunteering, or starting to eat out again. Across the board, seniors say the sense of relief and reduced anxiety feels great and they cannot wait to get in some real hugs.
