I think I'm going to go through with it. I've got the 3M mask--which is the best-fitting N95 mask I've come across, and I've tried a few--and a 3M for her as well. I will have had my booster shot 12 days ago. No known exposures on her part, and a (hopefully) negative swab test taken earlier in the day.
