CDC: Fully-Vaccinated People Can Gather Without Masks
Brasilia University Hospital Starts Testing a COVID -19 Vaccine Amidst the Coronavirus Pandemic
NEW YORK (AP) — Fully-vaccinated Americans can gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing.
That's according to long-awaited guidance from federal health officials.
The recommendations were announced Monday.
They also say that vaccinated people can come together in the same way with people considered at low-risk for severe disease, such as in the case of vaccinated grandparents visiting healthy children and grandchildren.
Officials say a person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last required dose of vaccine.
About 30 million Americans or only about 9% of the U.S. population have been fully vaccinated with a federally authorized COVID-19 vaccine so far.
