At your age case fatality rate of covid disease approaches zero. Kids have not been found to be the super spreaders we expected. Kids will always bring new germs with them where they go & many will spread in the classroom setting. Hand washing/ sanitizers will always be a good idea. A percentage will not gain immunity from the vaccine, but you are likely at more risk driving to work now.

It would be better for them to keep them on,for their own sakes even more than yours,as your vaccine will largely protect you. I don't know how old they are, but if they are old enough to listen,I would try to explain that they are potentially harming their friends and classmates;maybe they will do better with leaving them on.Be sure to keep your mask on as that plus your vaccine will protect you.
