His age does put him at higher risk for getting sick should he get COVID. But, he will have some protection by having his first dose of the vaccine so this lessens his risk of getting sick, even if he does get COVID. Only he can decide if the risk, even if less, is worth taking. If he chooses to go, wearing a mask, social distance, frequent hand washing should all still be followed. Good luck!

Agree with Dr. Ferranti. One dose offers partial protection and it is imperative that you friend observe mask and social distancing.
