People who are fully vaccinated can also start doing some things they stopped doing before the pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has additional guidance for fully vaccinated people on its website. People are considered to have the full protection offered from the vaccine two weeks after receiving their last required dose (the second dose of Moderna or Pfizer or the single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine).

It is important for people who are fully vaccinated to continue to wear masks when in public or around unvaccinated people, to avoid large gatherings, and to get tested for COVID-19 if they develop symptoms.

The CDC recently updated its travel guidance and no longer recommends fully vaccinated people delay travel or quarantine before or after their trip.
