Have you been fully vaccinated? The CDC says these activities can be considered safe:
- Hanging out indoors, without masks or social distancing, with others who have also been fully vaccinated.
- Visiting without a mask with people who have not been vaccinated, as long as those people are not at risk for serious illness.
- Also, if a fully vaccinated person is exposed to someone with COVID-19, they don’t have to worry about quarantining or getting tested unless they begin to experience symptoms.
However, the CDC still recommends you wear a mask in public and avoid large crowds.
‘Fully vaccinated’ means at least two weeks have passed since getting your final dose of vaccine.
What’s the first thing you plan to do once you’ve been vaccinated?
