You should continue to take COvid precautions- wearing a mask and avoiding crowds etc. The vaccines boost your immune system and provide you protection so you did the right thing. Also stay in touch with your MD.

The vaccinations will offer protection, even if the response is lower than expected. The antibody response may be measured, but cases have occurred even if deemed adequate. I agree that you should continue to use social distancing and a mask
