What Parents Should Know About The New CDC Mask Guidelines

On April 27, the CDC released a new set of guidelines for people who are fully vaccinated. That includes anyone for whom two weeks have passed since your second dose of a two-dose vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) or your jab of a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson).

Here’s a rundown of some things that fully vaccinated individuals can now do, per the CDC:

  • Gather indoors with other vaccinated people without masks or social distancing

  • Gather indoors with unvaccinated people from one single household without masks or social distancing (unless gathering with individuals at increased risk of severe illness)

  • Forgo wearing a mask outdoors unless in a crowded setting or venue

  • Forgo COVID-19 testing or quarantining prior to traveling within the U.S. as well as if exposed to someone with COVID-19
