The advice makes sense from a medicalized “do no harm” perspective. Given the baseline behavior of extreme behavior modifications to prevent infection, relaxing those constraints poses a risk. Therefore the only acceptable advice to give is “continue behaving just as cautiously even after getting the vaccine.”
This is clearly stupid, but medical institutions are not required to not be stupid; they are required to obey their hippocratic oath.
