[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The odds of your fully vaccinated MIL 1) contracting Covid and 2) having a high enough viral load to transmit it to your family are very low. The risk is not zero, but it is very low. I can't tell you what your level of comfort should be, but I would let her come without additional quarantining. [/quote]

We don’t know the answer to #2 at this time, which is why vaccinated people still have to wear masks[/quote]

Yeah, we don't know the answer, as in there hasn't been a clinical trial testing for that. Scientists are pretty sure the vaccines DO reduce transmission should someone be in the small minority that does become infected after vaccination, though. I would be comfortable taking that risk for the trade off of being able to see grandparents after a year. Apparently you would not. [/quote]

I would be comfortable in their case since grandparents can drive to them. In cases where grandparents would have to fly or use other mass transit where they are in close quarters with others who may or may not be masked, not comfortable. Mainly uncomfortable because kids aren’t vaccinated. Hopefully there will be more data on transmission by vaccinated individuals soon.[/quote]
