When You’ve Been Fully Vaccinated
More and more people are getting the COVID-19 vaccine, and the more who do, the faster we can expect to get back to something like a pre-pandemic “normal” for schools, businesses, travel and other social behaviors. What can you do now that you’ve been fully vaccinated? What should you not do?
Recommendations are evolving as more real-world evidence comes in from studies around the world, and some restrictions are already being relaxed in CDC guidance, but until more conclusive evidence is gathered (particularly data on asymptomatic contagion), the organization recommends still practicing pandemic safety protocols, even if you are fully vaccinated.
