What Parents Should Know About The New CDC Mask Guidelines
On April 27, the CDC released a new set of guidelines for people who are fully vaccinated. That includes anyone for whom two weeks have passed since your second dose of a two-dose vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) or your jab of a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson).
Here’s a rundown of some things that fully vaccinated individuals can now do, per the CDC:
Gather indoors with other vaccinated people without masks or social distancing
Gather indoors with unvaccinated people from one single household without masks or social distancing (unless gathering with individuals at increased risk of severe illness)
Forgo wearing a mask outdoors unless in a crowded setting or venue
Forgo COVID-19 testing or quarantining prior to traveling within the U.S. as well as if exposed to someone with COVID-19
