This guidance will be updated and expanded as more information becomes available. For the purposes of this guidance, people are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 ≥2 weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or ≥2 weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson/Janssen).

Fully vaccinated people can: - Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing - Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing - Refrain from quarantine and testing following a known exposure if asymptomatic For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to: - Take precautions in public like wearing a well-fitted mask and physical distancing - Wear masks, practice physical distancing, and adhere to other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people who are at [increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/index.html) or who have an unvaccinated household member who is at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease - Wear masks, maintain physical distance, and practice other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people from multiple households - Avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings - Get tested if experiencing [COVID-19 symptoms](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html) - Follow guidance issued by individual employers - Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations [Read more.](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html) Topics: [Vaccine](https://blog.argentum.org/ipc/topic/vaccine) ### Written by [Argentum](https://blog.argentum.org/ipc/author/argentum) ### Subscribe to Instant Email Updates ### See More COVID-19 Announcements Read more announcements related to COVID-19 on our Coronavirus Blog and access more information on: - [Funding](https://blog.argentum.org/covid-19/topic/funding) - [Vaccine](https://blog.argentum.org/covid-19/topic/vaccine) - [Visitation](https://blog.argentum.org/covid-19/topic/visitation) - [Testing](https://blog.argentum.org/covid-19/topic/testing) [![SEE BLOG](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2715174/ee246d8a-9a1d-4cd5-8c67-76586acc4a15.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2715174/ee246d8a-9a1d-4cd5-8c67-76586acc4a15) ### Stay Updated on COVID-19 Find all of our latest updates on developments related to COVID-19 on our Coronavirus Toolkit.
