"personally i dont think its a good idea to travel, everybody should use precaution."

Some people we talked to in tupelo aren't ready to go even though coronavirus vaccinations are available now.

Others believe it's just comes down to doing it the right way.

"you want to protect yourselves and others.

Traveling isn't the issue.
