CDC Releases New Health Protocols For Vaccinated Individuals 

Authorities have released new guidelines regarding the new protocols vaccinated people can follow amidst the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. 

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced updates that would guide authorities and individual Americans on how to conduct peer-to-peer interactions as well as small group gatherings. 

Per the CDC’s new guidance, a person who has completed their vaccine can interact with small groups of six people or less without any facemasks under certain circumstances. 

For example, a vaccinated person can do small group gatherings with six or fewer vaccinated people without the use of facemasks. 

It is also acceptable to meet without any facemasks for a vaccinated person to a small group of unvaccinated people who are considered low-risk, i.e., with little to no interaction with high-risk individuals (frontline medical workers, essential employees, etc.

Authorities, however, stressed that social distancing and the use of a piece of personal protective gear is still asked of for vaccinated people who are going to attend a large gathering of more than six people. 

Also, precautionary measures should be taken when a vaccinated person meets an unvaccinated individual with a high risk of contracting COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease-2019). 

Another is that whenever a vaccinated person meets and comes face-to-face with one or more unvaccinated people. 

Quarantine would not be mandatory, as shared by the CDC, for a vaccinated person who got accidentally exposed to somebody who is confirmed to be positive from the virus.

The vaccine prevents the individual who received it from developing the disease, and no symptoms will manifest. 

Nevertheless, medical experts reminded the public that even though one has gotten the jab and got exposed to the virus, they should need to minimize interactions with others and monitor themselves. 

There are rare instances where someone can still catch the virus, and it is best to be in touch with a doctor in the case of accidental exposure. 

For vaccinated immunocompromised individuals and other highly vulnerable people, the CDC warns that they should still take extra care and practice the maximum health protocols for getting the vaccine is not a hundred percent guarantee that they are safe from the dangers brought upon by COVID. 

With the country picking up its national vaccination drive, medical experts agree that obtaining the vaccine is the first step for people to a sense of normalcy in society amidst the on-going public health crisis. 

Per CDC Director Rochelle Walensky shares, as more and more Americans get their vaccines, many of them will be able to slowly start to enjoy activities with significantly lowered risks of them getting infected. 

As of press time, more than 330 million doses of the vaccine have been administered to Americans. 

This is a developing story, and the CDC promised to release updated guidelines from time to time as the public continues to fight COVID-19.
