Key Points

This is the first set of public health recommendations for fully vaccinated people. This guidance will be updated and expanded based on the level of community spread of SARS-CoV-2, the proportion of the population that is fully vaccinated, and the rapidly evolving science on COVID-19 vaccines.

For the purposes of this guidance, people are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 ≥2 weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioN Tech or Moderna), or ≥2 weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson [J&J]/Janssen ).†

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:

 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
