I should meet him right after his vaccine and im unsure if it could be dangerous for me (im not vaccinated yet). If we can meet, can we kiss or hold hands? Or its better to wait a few days?
His getting the vaccine has absolutely no bearing on whether you can kiss safely.
If you have previously been kissing and otherwise in the same bubble then it is relatively safe to kiss. If not, it is still possible that one of you could transmit the virus to the other.
No kissing before the wedding. /s
It ain’t premarital if u don’t marry. Mic drop.
Haha, Preach! 🙌🏾 I’m using this on my wife.
Have you been distancing yourself from your boyfriend this entire epidemic?
No, our country permitted couples to meet up. But like we got tested weekly and it was pretty safe.
It takes about two weeks for him to have immunity. If he continues to quarantine and take precautions then it should be fine, but if he isn't then you should probably wait 2 weeks.
The vaccine itself isn't going to have an impact on any intimacy activities. So long as he continues to quarantine for you until the vaccine works completely, you'll be fine. My vaccine will be a week or so after my second shot.
He may feel like crap in the next few days as his body reacts to the new proteins the vaccine gets his cells to make, but that's not real Covid. It's just his immune system reacting.
All the vaccine does is use a natural mechanism of our cells to make some of the surface proteins that mark Covid-19. The immune system see these foreign markers and eliminates them. You body then remembers those markers as something to eliminate when exposed to real Covid viruses.
While yes if he gets a vaccine after 2-4 weeks he will have some immunity, and after he gets his 2nd injection he will have between 70%-90% protection depending on what vaccine he's given. So HE will be safe to have contact with people again if he's been following all the guidance.
However, having a vaccine doesn't mean he may not be carrying the virus if he's come in to contact with someone infected, and the risk is then he may pass it on to an unvaccinated person. So the risk now is to other people because we don't know yet if the vaccine stops transmission yet or only fights the virus.
I know how you feel, I'm in the same boat too. I just want to hug all my friends and family again and kiss, cuddle and do all the other things with my SO too. I'm not going to say what you should do aside from look at the research, seek medical advice, if it's been affecting your mental health then judge if you should have contact under mental health reasons, keep following all local advice and most of all talk with your boyfriend and any people you and he are living with to work something out.
Congratulations to your BF for getting a vaccine, I hope yours comes soon and good luck.
