Ask Amy: Couple wants proof others are vaccinated
Because of that, it is vital that you continue to maintain safe practices while out and about. William Schaffner, M.D., an infectious disease specialist and professor of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine says: “Just because you roll up your sleeve and get the shot doesn’t mean you can throw away your mask and disregard other prevention efforts such as social distancing and handwashing. Those will be crucial for quite some time, in order to get control over the virus.”
Once you are vaccinated, you could become an ambassador and advocate for others in your circle to also receive it.
And so you can say, “We got our COVID immunization. It was a snap. Have you gotten yours, yet?”
No. You should not ask for proof that others have been vaccinated. Your vaccination helps to protect you from illness; theirs will protect them.
Dear Amy: I am married to a much older man. My husband is 83 and has declining vision. He prefers that things he uses daily (such as certain tools, and condiments he uses for his food) be kept out where he can easily locate them.

Two days later I figured out where hubby's catsup, peanut butter, butter and power strip were.
Brenda has no hobbies other than cleaning and television.
