Just When You Think You’ve Heard It All — Get Vaccinated to Get Kissed
September 27, 2021
For those who are fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 jab, Oregon has good news: It’s OK to kiss your date now, provided your date is also fully vaxxed.
While permission to kiss hasn’t been publicized as an incentive for
getting vaccinated, Oregon health officials are giving the green flag to
kissing and intimacy. Previously the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) had advised
masturbation in place of getting close to someone else.
As posted by Insider, the OHA says: “Once both parties are vaccinated,
OHA recommends choosing an outdoor location for a date night if Zoom meetings
aren't cutting it. If one party is experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, the date
should be postponed for 10 days. If your date is going to be in a crowded or
indoor area, OHA recommends masks and social distancing.
“If both parties are fully vaccinated and taking precautions against the
coronavirus, OHA is giving the green light for intimacy.”
The OHA also made their announcement on their Facebook page, generating
hundreds of comments both supporting and ridiculing the advice.
