After you've received the coronavirus vaccine in its entirety, and completed the necessary waiting period, so much more of the world will be your oyster. You can ditch the virtual museum tours and national park documentaries (unless that's how you prefer to spend your time), and start seeing the places on your bucket list IRL. If you do decide to book and take that long-awaited post-vaccination trip — or vaxication, if you will — don't forget to pack these vaxication selfie captions for Instagram or TikTok.

You already posted your vaccine selfie when you first got jabbed. Even after that, you continue to follow the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which currently notes that fully vaccinated people are typically safe to participate in outdoor activities without a mask, resume domestic travel, and gather indoors with other fully vaccinated people. You should still get tested if you begin to experience symptoms of COVID-19, wear a mask when requested, and review the guidelines for the place you want to travel to. Otherwise, you can roam freely and take selfies with seashells, snowy mountaintops, or skyscrapers. That means photos of your first excursion in more than a year, along with a clever quote, are on the horizon.

For those moments when you finally fulfill your wanderlust, make sure you have vaxication selfie captions on hand. It's only right to document your first post-vaccination trip with a glowing Instagram pic or TikTok video. Shot girl summer starts now.
