US officials, including President Joe Biden’s chief medical officer Dr. Anthony Fauci and CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, said a few days ago that new COVID-19 guidelines were about to be released. The updated documentation would include recommendations for people who have received the full two-dose vaccine regimen, or a single dose of the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The guidelines would explain safety measures for fully immunized people and list safe activities to participate in after being vaccinated. The officials said that vaccinated people will be able to meet indoors without wearing masks, assuming everyone in the group is fully vaccinated.
The vaccine needs up to two weeks after the second jab to develop full protection, so people will need guidance to know exactly what they can expect after vaccination. Also important is the fact that some people can still get infected once they're fully vaccinated, the so-called breakthrough COVID-19 cases. That’s because the vaccines aren’t 100% efficacious. Also, they’re not meant to prevent infection. Instead, vaccines aim to reduce the severity of illness and prevent death.
The CDC should have released the updated guidelines on Thursday, but the agency has delayed the publication of new recommendations now that new daily coronavirus cases are no longer declining.
