14. My household is mixed vaccinated/not because of differences in eligibility...

The whole household is continuing isolation behaviors as if we were all unvaccinated until we've all been allowed to get vaccinated.

It's not very safe for vaccinated people to go back to normal lifestyle when they've got unvaccinated people in the house. The vaccines vastly reduce hospitalizations and deaths, but they only reduce infection by 90-some percent. You can still bring the virus into your home and infect your unprotected family members.
