CDC guidelines for vaccinated people

The CDC has issued new guidance for vaccinated people, giving the green-light to resume some pre-pandemic activities and relax precautions that have been in place:

[...]

People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after they have gotten the second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines (or two weeks after receiving the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine).

[...]

Here's the CDC's specific guidance for what fully vaccinated people can do:
  • "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 to COVID-19 if asymptomatic"

The CDC said fully vaccinated people should continue to take these COVID-19 precautions:
  • "Take precautions in public like wearing a well-fitted mask and physical distancing
  • "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
  • "Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
  • "Follow guidance issued by individual employers
  • "Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations"
