He said an individual would only be recognised as an individual who had completed his vaccination when he passed the maturity period after the second dose injection. Fully vaccinated individuals would not have to worry about being exposed to or exposing those who are not yet vaccinated with the virus. But whatever it is, even if we are still fully vaccinated, please do practice the SOPs and be safe.
