Concerned at mixing after only 1st jab

Vegastare

My MIL is or was in support bubble with me and hubby.  All three of us have been and do remain careful - but Mother in law had final vaccine and asked nurse if she was ok to resume going out.
To which the nurse suggested she go to a large clothing outlet that is near by - saying it will do you good. So that is exactly what she has done, she went on Friday and she is on her way there again today for another look around.
I do not want to stop her pleasure goodness know she needs it but is she putting the likes of my husband and I at risk, we don't get our second vaccines till mid May and MIL is expecting to stay this weekend. 

If it was  in the garden with social distancing that would be fine - but it is not.  I really do not know how to deal with this - I am anxious at the best of times but this is really worrying me.

You deal with it by either understanding that the risk to yourselves is negligible, or you stop mixing with her.  It really is that simple.

When did she have her second jab? It takes about 3 weeks to get maximum resistance.
As long as she wears a mask and maintains normal social distancing then I can see no reason why you should be concerned.

I read it as the OP is more concerned about therself, rather than their MIL.

OP only you can decide whether to continue to have her in your support bubble, if you think it's not safe then you can choose to stop seeing her until you have your 2nd jab.

She had her second jab last Thursday....yes I am worried about me....I am asthmatic and have done my very best to keep safe.

OP

Which one did you have ? I'm only asking as the experts, and not Dot from down the road or on social media, have stated that the effectiveness is quite high even after having the first dose - eg Pfzir has been reported as 85% effective after the 1st dose.

You say she is expecting to stay this weekend?  At your house?  Have you done this before?

It's irrelevant. MIL will either contract it, or she won't. and the OP will potentially be infected, or she won't. You can't be 85% infected.

Yes, but in this case the only possible transmission route is MIL to OP. If MIL is not infected, then the OP can't be.

Have you been out to the shops yet?

If not, are you waiting for an "all clear" signal or until you've also had both jabs?

Yes she is living alone and hubby and I are her support and she has been in our support bubble, she or us have never ventured in anyone else home.  We have followed the guideance.

All of us have had AZ vacs
