Probably not: While wearing a mask is recommended to limit germ transfer, to and from the person, we should try to balance medical health needs with quality of life issue. If you are no longer on immunosuppresants, you can ,consider putting a mask during crowded conditions mainly, to limit exposure to extra germs which can make you sick. Continue to practice universal precaution/hand washing with close contacts
