The CDC says COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting people from getting sick, and those who have been fully vaccinated can begin to resume certain pre-pandemic activities.
The CDC recommends the following guidance for unvaccinated people:
Get a COVID-19 vaccine when it is available.
Wear a CDC-compliant facial covering that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others.
Stay 6 feet apart from people who don’t live in your same household.
Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
Wash hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
