Fully Vaccinated People Can Safely Gather With Non-Vaccinated People.
On Monday, the CDC released guidance on safe activities for those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
.
A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their final shot, as the body has had enough time to build up antibodies.
.
Fully vaccinated people can safely congregate indoors with other fully vaccinated people without safety measures, such as physical distancing or mask-wearing.
.
They can also have small gatherings with other households, even if that group contains non-vaccinated people.
.
This is very welcome guidance … This opens the door for grandparents to meet with their children and grandchildren without masks, indoors, for a nice group hug, Dr. Richard Besser, via NBC News.
The caveat is that the non-vaccinated people should not be at risk of severe COVID-19, as there may still be a risk of transmission.
.
COVID-19 mitigation measures should also still remain status quo in public places.
.
This includes frequent hand washing, wearing masks and avoiding crowded areas.

We’re still learning how effective the vaccines are against variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 … We’re still learning how well COVID-19 vaccines keep people from spreading the disease, CDC, via statement
