I've been in VA since last night. Yet it is my impression that most of NJ business establishments WILL put up signs that state: "No mask. No service". Hey, Biden said we don't need a mask.....Governor Murphy said we now don't need a mask...but the supermarket manager or the Wal-Mart manager says you do. Hmm...politicians ....what good are they?
I have been to a number of stores in NJ since Friday, and I don't think I have seen any that are still requiring masks for people who are vaccinated. I have mainly been in chain stores, so maybe local stores are different.

Vaccination significantly reduces the change of transmission, but does not eliminate it.

Unless you stay completely away nothing does to be fair. I'm happy to wear if another masks, and maybe it sounds like I'm tired, but there needs to be a bonus for some to vaccinate at this point. Saying this as someone living in a state that really kind of sucks.
Kid got dose #2 today. Happy to have that done. About this time last year, I signed up with two places online to join a covid vaccine trial. I did get a call from both eventually. A lot has changed for the good this past year.

For the first time in a while, I feel very hopeful.

I hope my nephew's doing ok after getting his second dose of the vaccine
COVID-19 Vaccine-Reluctant in U.S. Likely to Stay That Way
Seventy-six percent of U.S. adults report they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or plan to be. One in five adults who do not plan to get vaccinated say they are at least somewhat likely to change their mind.

I heard that NY may reach 70% of adults vaccinated next week (not sure if it said fully or partially).
NY is at 68.9% of adults with 1 dose right now so likely to hit 70% very soon
. Likely to be the 15th state over 70%.

Governor Cuomo has said NY will lift remaining restrictions once NY reaches a vaccination rate of 70%.
PA is doing the same but we have to reach 70% of adults fully vaccinated. We hit 70% with 1 shot the last week of May so should hit 70% fully vaccinated by end of June.

I think the powers that be should stress the facts regarding how effective these vaccines actually are. People either don't understand how protected they are or simply refuse to believe it. I don't know how many times I've read or heard someone say they are vaccinated but are still wearing a mask because they are worried about encountering someone who is not vaccinated. What exactly do they think the vaccines do?

Or these people could simply be afraid of getting infected. Fears are often not rational and simply providing facts doesn't automatically make the fear go away.

About 72% of Onondaga County, NY (where I live) residents have had at least 1 dose.
Half have had two doses of vaccine
HALF of Guernsey’s adults have now received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine, as the vaccination programme continues to power forward.

I saw that Pfizer and Modern hope to have their vaccines available for the 5 to 11 age group by September.
Yes, phase 3 trial is ramping up now and they need 2 months of safety data so results should be in around the end of August or beginning of Sept and then they should apply for EUA shortly after. If all goes well shots in arms start by Oct 1.

I hope my 6 year old niece can get it soon.
