Does anybody here that is vaccinated (which seems to be everyone based on that poll I posted a week or two ago) actually ask others if they are or aren't vaccinated? For example, your friend invites you over and there's a few people there you don't know. Are you concerned with whether or not they're vaccinated? Or are you asking the friend if there's going to be non-vaccinated people there before you even decided on attending? One of the primary reasons I got vaccinated was so I wouldn't have to be bothered with that stuff. 

I have for some things.  And I planned a small get together with 5 friends from different places a long time ago for this october...so far it's still on, but I did ask them all if they were vaccinated.  I've asked it about families of my daughter's friends...well asked her how her friends talk about it and if they are likely vaccinated before deciding some interactions are ok.  Some for covid and some because I don't really want to be around or have my daughter around crazy right wingers.

"even dogs are not allowed to hang out with other dogs if they do not have all of their vaccines."

i say we try that with unvaccinated people.

I already do this.
Everyone I work with is vaccinated 
Everyone in my family is vaccinated 
All of my immediate friends are vaccinated 
I do not spend any sort of quality time with anyone who is not. And I won't. Until maybe Ohana

Question.  If a vaccinated person can spread it, what difference does it make if they are or aren't?

I feel that not being around unvaccinated people lessens my chance of getting it. But also if I were to have it and unknowingly pass it on I'd like that person to be vaccinated as well to lessen the negative outcome.
Plus my. S/O is immunity-compromized so we do our best to mitigate negative situations and outcomes.

I don't go that far.  I don't understand why people don't just get the vaccine but I don't really ask unless it comes up.

I was curious.  Thanks for answering.

Another question.  Can the I/C person receive a dose of the vaccine?  None at all?  I've read that they might need multiples.

My S/O got vaccinated early because of her "status" but also because she is an educator. 
The same goes for the booster.

I’m the same way. My thought is COVID is their problem at this point. I’m not really worried about it. Though I do have a fully vaccinated friend who was subject to a “breakthrough case” and was very sick for about two weeks.

No we do not ask at all or care for that matter. I only care if you are going to push your no vaccine bullshit on me like I did something wrong. I would never do that to them and would expect the same treatment. I do live in a low case area though and unsure if it would change if I lived in a populated area.

I actually had a friend poke fun at me for getting the vaccine…as if it made me a pussy. But he also did that when I told him I didn’t vote for Trump, he’s kinda stuck in his ways. I don’t care if someone refuses the vaccine but like you, I don’t want to be preached to like I’m the one that’s wrong.

No one’s ever asked me except for my docs. I would never ask someone if they are; I figure it’s on them to make their own decisions and deal with it as they see fit for themselves.

Yes I ask.  Too many children around that can’t get vaccinated and with breakthrough cases/new variant no one is really 100% safe. My sister-in-law said she won’t get the booster shot so I told her I wouldn’t be seeing her probably for a very long time.  I don’t believe it’s intrusive to ask.  Wouldn’t you want to know if this was a plague or Ebola? When it comes to pandemics I don’t think prevention should be a choice.

I see no issue in asking.  If someone doesn't want to answer, that's up to them.

Vaccinated but won’t get a booster?  Weird.

If you can still get it vaccinated or not, I don't see the difference in hanging out with someone whom is or isn't vaccinated.

No shit?  I actually said my choice was not to be near anyone.

I really am interested in the persons reasons and not everyone else opinions on it.  This seems to be an ongoing theme on here.
