Important to note that the mRNA vaccines look really good to prevent disease, but we don't yet know if patients can still be asymptomatically infected in their upper airways and transmit disease to others even if they themselves do not become sick.

If vaccinated patients do not wear masks, they could be very dangerous vectors to the unvaccinated. 

Likely the vaccines will decrease the amount of time a patient would be asymptomatically reinfected and infectious, but this is still a big area of uncertainty.

Ugh. Asking people to wear masks after being vaccinated would be an impossible task.  Let's all hope to heaven the vaccine stops (asymptomatic) virus spread in addition to virus infection.
