Would you let your fully-vaccinated parent come over for dinner?

As long as your mom is ok with it (given she’s higher risk due to age), sure.

Yes. Now that my dad is fully vaxed, he is coming to visit. There's still a risk to us, but our child has been in school in-person since the fall, so obviously we are comfortable with some risk.

Yes. I went to visit my mom after her first vaccine, and once I saw how badly she’d declined over the past year, I wished I’d gone even sooner, despite the risk. She lives alone, and the isolation/lack of social activity has taken a huge toll, both physically and cognitively.

I was on the fence about this a long time, and had lots of conditions "well, let's give it a little more time, see what the studies show," "well, depending on what else they're doing," "well, let's wait until community spread drops a bit more."

F#@k it. I'm done. We now have a complete open door policy on fully vaccinated people. I can't live like this one second more than I have to.

I am so sorry.

Yes but only after 6 weeks since final injection and preferably outside. Vaccines don't work instantaneously.

Why 6 weeks? I thought tests showed effectiveness 2 weeks after last dose?

[Anonymous]

Yes. Thats the point of them getting the vaccine. Its important for the mental health of my 75 year old inlaws to see their grandkids and their son. They are being careful otherwise and are masked at the grocery store and dont see anyone else anyway.

[Anonymous]

Yup, absolutely.

[Anonymous]

Yes.

In your situation, sure if its her choice and you aren't doing much. My mom, no, because she has chosen not to see us in over a year even though we haven't been socializing, or doing much else and she lied to me about her behavior.

Which studies? It hasn't been fully examined at this point. Studies suggest that vaccinated people don't transmit illness. They also suggest that vaccinated people are unlikely to get sick, but there is still a chance. So you should be careful with your parent's health as well.

People without symptoms are much less infectious. As studies have shown, asymptomatic transmission is .7% of spread. And if you do spread Covid to your vaccinated parents, you are spreading a cold to them.

Citation for this please. As I understood it, most transmission was from asymptotic. Which is why we are in a pandemic because people
Don’t know they are sick and we’re still going put and about without masks.

Yes, I would. The risk to you and your family may still remain, but the risk to her is minimal to zero. Definitely worth it to me.
