It is still recommended, however, that individuals who have not been fully vaccinated have their Easter dinner and egg hunt only with people in their home or outdoors, standing about 2 meters away to prevent the spread of Covid- 19, said the CDC.
CDC tweets this week are based on existing CDC guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals – meaning that it has been two weeks since they received their second dose of Pfizer / BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or it has been two weeks since received the single dose of Johnson & Johnson Vaccine.
The agency’s guidance, released in March, says that people who have been fully vaccinated can gather indoors without masks. In addition, they can meet with unvaccinated people without masks, but visits should be limited to one unvaccinated family at a time.
But precautions should remain when visiting an unvaccinated person at increased risk of serious illness or death from Covid-19, according to the CDC.
The CDC says it is still learning how vaccines protect against the new coronavirus, and its guidance will continue to be updated as health officials learn more.
Until then, there are some precautions that people who are fully vaccinated should have in public, including wearing masks, maintaining social distance and avoiding crowds.
