I wouldn't mind to serve the passengers with our normal service any other time however with the national crisis still going on and only about 20% vaccination rates. With the new menu option; I feel that it is still too early to provide these options.At first; I noticed even with the menu placard; several people lower down their masks to order their drinks despite the numerous PA about the mask compliance. It is quite distracting and uncomfortable environment to other passengers who are sitting next to them and myself. Few people were chewing their food and talking to me without the mask.The second thing is that more people are traveling which I am happy for however the social distance is impossible already. After serving snacks they immediately remove their masks. By the time I bring my drinks to serve; I am exposed to all these passengers and passengers themselves while they are chewing and talking themselves.The third problem is that more drinks; more contacts. Almost everyone touched my hands when I served the drinks. And immediate contacts with them handing over the drinks; it makes some passengers quite uncomfortable and distracted events for the crews.The fourth problem is that WiFi is inadequate and lots of people ask how or where to find the menu; it may sound simple to do it but it's not something that generally people are familiar with our website and not many frequent fly members on board. It takes lots of crew time and distraction in fact.Lots of crew members are still not having the access of the vaccine yet. I feel that our company put our crews in great danger in our work environment. If we follow the federal guideline; I strongly believe that we are not ready for this; yet.Thank you for your consideration and help in advance.We must vaccinate the crews 100%. I believe it is the upmost important event the company needs to focus on and resume the service we normally do after. This extra menu service; is simple I understand; however it still too early to say we are safe.
Flight Attendant reported it is too early to expand the inflight service. There are too many passengers with face masks down; talking with masks down; and social distancing issues during the inflight service.
