452ds agoThere are
new quarantine guidelines for people fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The CDC
says you do not need to quarantine if you are exposed to someone infected with
the virus.
The new guidelines
apply to people who:
- Are fully vaccinated, and it has been at least 2 weeks since their final dose.
- They are within 3 months of receiving their final dose.
- They have remained asymptomatic since their COVID-19 exposure.
Doctors say
that, even if you're vaccinated, you need to be cautious. While you can move
around freely after being vaccinated, doctors say people can still get infected
by the virus and have it in their upper respiratory airway. Being vaccinated
means your body has the antibodies to fight it off. So while you may get the virus, it just means you
may not get sick.
Doctors say
that even people who have been vaccinated still need to be wearing masks.
The CEO of
vaccine-maker Johnson & Johnson is now suggesting COVID-19 variants
may mean an annual shot will be needed for years to come.
