What can you do after receiving the complete COVID-19 vaccine? There are still some doubts about this.
What is happening?
Dr Leana Wen, professor of health policy and management at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, told CNN that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention left out a lot of information about what can be safe for fully vaccinated Americans when the agency released its guidelines this week.
In fact, she said there are a few different things that fully vaccinated individuals can do together. Here is a quick analysis of the highlights.
- Falling in love: “Yes, if you and the person you are dating are fully vaccinated, you can definitely be together again.” She said that if you are dating someone new, first check to see if that person has been vaccinated.
- Travel: “I think people who are fully vaccinated should feel free to travel to see their families, but of course, take all precautions during the trip – including wearing a tight-fitting mask at all times in public places, trying to stay physically distant at all times. possible, and wash your hands thoroughly. “
- Restaurants: “I think they should be able to return to the activities that interest them most, while, once again, they make sure to wear masks and stay physically distant. I would go further and say that a couple who really want to eat out at a restaurant again could do so occasionally, but not night after night. “

Context
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a list of activities in which fully vaccinated people can participate.
- People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving a second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or a dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The list of activities includes going out with other people fully vaccinated inside the house, without masks or social detachment, as well as going out with unvaccinated people with a low risk of serious COVID-19 illnesses, as I wrote for Deseret News.
