The CDC has released its first recommendations for those that are fully vaccinated from Covid-19. People are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 after more than 2 weeks since receiving the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer or Moderna vaccines), or less than 2 weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson vaccine).
The following recommendations apply to non-healthcare settings. Fully vaccinated people can:
• Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing
• Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing
• Refrain from quarantine and testing following a known exposure if asymptomatic
For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to:
• Wear a well-fitted mask and physical distancing in public
• Wear masks, practice physical distancing, and adhere to other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people who are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease or who have an unvaccinated household member who is at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease
• Wear masks, maintain physical distance, and practice other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people from multiple households
• Avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings
