At gyms there is also high risk in other areas---locker room, bathroom, etc. After 23 years of avid gym attendance, I canceled my membership at Planet Fitness in March 2020 and will never go back to any gym. In previous years PF never made any attempt at all to minimize risk during major flu outbreaks.

Upon further research, I found different statements about when a vaccine reaches maximum strength and when it declines. My pharmacist told me it's effective two weeks after vaccination.
