Note that State and Local guidance may be stronger than CDC guidance based on severity of disease spread in our area.
We’re still learning how vaccines will affect the spread of COVID-19. After you’ve been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, you should keep taking precautions in public places like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces until we know more.
You may also need to follow quarantine/isolation protocols if exposed to a COVID-19 case or if you have symptoms of COVID-19. Please work with public health contact tracers for guidance specific to your situation.

What it means to be Fully Vaccinated
People are considered fully vaccinated:
2 weeks AFTER their second dose in a 2-dose series, like the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines,
or
2 weeks AFTER a single-dose vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
If it has been less than 2 weeks since your shot, or if you still need to get your second dose, you are not yet receiving all the protective benefits of the vaccine. We recommend all community member continue prevention steps as we work towards community immunity. This includes quarantining/isolating if you are sick or exposed to a person with COVID, especially if the exposure was before you reached fully vaccinated (2 weeks after the final dose).
