How can I stay safe?

[FeelingJittery1]

I’m single vaccinated and the next one is the first week of October - I was very nervous about the jab and the whole news around clots broke out and it’s taken me a huge effort to get the first one in…

I know once the school starts it’s going to come home to me however I’ve found out that my husband is having a face to face meeting with 3 others before the school starts. They are all double vaxxed..

I know I cannot ask everyone to hold their lives until I get the second jab..my daughter was in school when I was unvaccinated but my dad is in the icu with Covid for the past two weeks and this news of the meeting has me convinced I’ll be the next one to catch it..

With delta being so transmissible is there anything I can do to avoid catching it?

I meant to say avoid catching it from my husband-

Wear a mask (clean it/change it regularly). Wags your hand with hot soapy water ot alcohol gel if not available. Keep your distance. Don't touch your face when your hands are dirty. Try to keep toothbrushes and cutlery separate at home. All these things are very effective and reducing transmission.

@nameisnotimportant thank you- I don’t want to alarm my daughter by walking around with a mask - I’ll think how this would work but the rest can be done

There is no certainty your dh will catch it and pass it on. Is he willing to mitigate the contact with social distance, ventilation etc.

It's a respiratory think. Washing your hands is not nearly as effective as wearing a mask.

Sorry I meant to wear a mask outdoors. I would just keep your distance and make sure your husband keeps his distance at the meeting.

@LIZS he will is what I think as he’s not that careful and since he’s double jabbed feels more safer

Sorry you found it so difficult getting the vaccination and well done for doing so.
In your shoes I think I'd ask DH to maintain social distancing and handwashing etc at his meetings, and otherwise let it go.
Most of life is risky. We simply cannot avoid all risk. Some people who catch covid are unlucky, but most will get it mildly. I know several families where only one member has caught it, despite living in close proximity to one another.
A young friend who had cancer treatment a couple of years ago caught it, and had it pretty mildly. Nobody can assume they will get it badly or not.
Usual hygiene routines and taking a pragmatic approach is your best bet.

Ask your DH to maintain a good social distance during meeting. Ask him to be in a big, well ventilated room or better outdoors.

But once schools open you might just have to accept being this nervous until 14 days after your 2nd jab or beyond if this is how you are going to be.

@nameisnotimportant yes I wear a mask outdoors and social distance but indoors is the problem

He is safer though, as safe as any of us can be right now. As safe as we are going to get. One jab is better than none so accept you are in a better stance if it is brought home and try and reduce your news/media input.

Or worry forever.

Wear FFP2 mask, meet outside wherever possible. Have the windows open all the time, get your booster dose as soon as you are eligible and reduce your exposure as much as possible

@deplorabelle I’m in England and I need to wait out the 8 week window - which for me is 1st week of Oct
