We updated our guidance for fully vaccinated people because:
1. #COVID19 cases are down
2. Vaccines are widely available
3. Vaccines = 90-95% effective in real-world studies
4. Vaccines are working against variants
5. Those fully vaccinated are less likely to transmit virus
CDC director on the new mask guidance for fully vaccinated Americans: “There were several pieces that really went into this important decision.”
