That's the answer for my roundtrip flights between JFK and LHR. Just because one is vaccinated is no guarantee that one won't catch the flu. The spread of the flu is apparently very much out of control in NYC. Use it on the seat, arm rests, tray table, magazines, door knobs, etc.

As for sick passengers on board, not much anyone can do especially if they sneeze or cough without covering their mouths.
