Cheeky Twitter meme lists all the very specific things you can't do, even once you're vaccinated
With millions of Americans getting their first, second, or only coronavirus vaccine shots every day, folks are actually starting to look forward to all the things they'll be able to do once herd immunity is reached and life can mostly go back to normal.
And for those who've already been vaccinated (and waited a couple weeks for their glorious science-given immunity to kick in), they're already reaping the benefits. While vaccines don't reduce the likelihood of catching or spreading COVID-19 to zero, they do reduce the chance you'll get seriously, life-threateningly ill — meaning fully vaccinated people are feeling confident enough to hug their grandkids, make out with (vaccinated) strangers, and board a flight across the country to do those things.
However, there are limits. The CDC notes that even after you've got your shots, you should avoid hanging out with at-risk loved ones without at least donning your mask, and also avoid "medium or large gatherings".
