I was hoping once I was fully vaccinated I would have more freedom and enjoy my life again.

Hello Agate,
Yes, here in the U.S.A. the mask mandate has been lifted in most states for people who have been fully vaccinated, my state included.
What my doctor was explaining to me is, despite being fully vaccinated I must still wear a mask and all those around me must do the same because I'm considered high risk as a result of being immunicompromised. I can't go eat inside restaurants or sit with family and friends without everyone being masked. Until my state and cimmunity reaches herd immunity. Though the vaccines are 90-95% effective, for someone like me I would fall into that 5-10% that it will not be as effective in and would get sick and the outcome may not be good.
Best wishes,
