CDC released an initial set of recommendations for fully vaccinated individuals, defined as two weeks after the second dose of receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or two weeks after the J&J/Janssen vaccine. These recommendations include specific situations in private or household settings where social distancing and masking are no longer needed, but also advise maintaining precautions in public and in settings where unvaccinated high-risk individuals may be present.
In public spaces, fully vaccinated people should continue to follow guidance to protect themselves and others, including wearing a well-fitted mask, physical distancing (at least 6 feet), avoiding crowds, avoiding poorly ventilated spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often, and following any applicable workplace or school guidance.
Fully vaccinated people should still watch for symptoms of COVID-19, especially following an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. If symptoms develop, all people – regardless of vaccination status – should isolate and be clinically evaluated for COVID-19, including SARS-CoV-2 testing, if indicated.
