\nToday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its first set of recommendations<\/a> on activities that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can safely resume.
\nThe new guidance\u2014which is based on the latest science<\/a> \u2014 includes recommendations for how and when a fully vaccinated individual can visit with other people who are fully vaccinated and with other people who are not vaccinated. This guidance represents a first step toward returning to everyday activities in our communities. CDC will update these recommendations as more people are vaccinated, rates of COVID-19 in the community change, and additional scientific evidence becomes available.

Everyone \u2013 even those who are vaccinated \u2013 should continue with all mitigation strategies when in public settings. As the science evolves and more people get vaccinated, we will continue to provide more guidance to help fully vaccinated people safely resume more activities.\u201d
\nCDC encourages people to get vaccinated with the first available FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine to protect themselves and to help bring the pandemic to a close. The currently authorized vaccines by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are safe and highly effective at preventing serious COVID-19 illness, hospitalization, and death.
\nA growing body of scientific evidence also suggests that fully vaccinated people are less likely to have asymptomatic infection and are potentially less likely to transmit SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to other people. Therefore, fully vaccinated people can safely take fewer precautions in certain situations.
\nSpecifically, CDC\u2019s guidance today recommends that fully vaccinated people can do the following:<\/p>\n
