Until we have 70% vaccination and that means fully vaccinated then yes masks are still necessary as we have not achieved herd immunity. You may get covid if vaccinated but it will be no worse than a common cold rather than either being hospitalised or have long term effects. Until your body achieves full immunity which is WEEKs after the second jab (astra or pfizer) you are still a vector for spreading and shedding the virus even if you don't get anything. Hence the reason for wearing the mask. when we reach herd immunity then we can return to normal (probably get boosters every year much like the flu jab but as vaccines get better maybe even less)
