*2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine What's Changed? If you've been fully vaccinated: *You can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask *You can gather indoors with unvaccinated people from one other household without masks (ie. visiting relatives who all live together), unless any of those people or anyone they live with has an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 *If you've been around someone who has COVID-19, you do not need to stay away from others or get tested unless you have symptoms (unless you live in a congregate facility) What Hasn't Changed *Take steps to protect yourself in many situations: wear mask, stay 6 ft apart, avoid crowds and poorly vented places: while in public, gathering around unvaccinated people, around those who are at greater risk for severe illness or death from COVID-19, or who lives with someone at higher risk. *Avoid medium or large-sized gatherings *Delay domestic and international travel, and if you travel follow CDC recommendations and requirements *Monitor for symptoms of COVID-19, especially if you have been around someone who is sick; get tested and stay home and away from others *Follow guidance at your workplace COVID-19 vaccines are effective in protecting you from getting sick, and those fully vaccinated can start to do some things they had stopped doing because of the pandemic. Continue to take precautions for basic prevention. CDC will continue to update recommendations for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated |
