Can Mom Jump Back Into Travel?

QUESTION: "My 74-year-old mother got her second dose of the COVID vaccine two weeks ago, and now she’s planning to buy airline flights. I don’t think she even cares about the destination, but is trying to make up for lost time. I definitely understand where she’s coming from. I want to start travelling again, too. The thing is, she isn’t even grocery shopping or leaving her house now, nor has she for a year. I don’t see her getting straight on a plane. She is likely to freak out at the airport and return home. Do you think it’s okay for mom to pack her bags and go at this time? She is vaccinated, and the prices are good. How safe is it for her to take a vacation? Should she leave the country if she goes? We wish she would slow it down a bit and wait for the dust to settle before she gets out there." - READER
