Tested, safe and effective
COVID-19 vaccines are helping us gain control of our lives and get back to the
people and places we love. It is important to know when you are fully
vaccinated and the steps we all need to take to keep protecting each other
after you’re vaccinated. You are fully vaccinated two
weeks after your final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. If it has
been less than two weeks since your final shot for the vaccine, then you are
not fully protected yet. Once you are fully
vaccinated: =
You can gather with other fully vaccinated people
indoors without wearing a mask. =
You can gather with people who are not vaccinated from one other
household without wearing a mask, but only if no one from the other
household is at high-risk for severe COVID-19 illness. =
You do not need to quarantine or get tested
if you have been around someone who has COVID-19, unless you
develop COVID-19 symptoms. If you develop symptoms, you will
need to get tested and
isolate as soon as possible. Until
enough of us are protected by the vaccines, we need to keep protecting each other. That’s why we all need to keep practicing the 3 Ws - wear a mask, wait 6
feet apart and wash your hands.
