The CDC released new COVID-19 guidelines for fully vaccinated people earlier last week, advising vaccinated people to continue to respect health measures meant to prevent transmission when in public or when gathering. The CDC does say that people who have received both shots can meet indoors without masks beginning two weeks after the second jab. That’s when full immunity kicks in, assuming the drug elicits the desired immune response.
But first-gen coronavirus vaccines aren’t designed to block COVID-19 transmission. Instead, they’re supposed to prevent severe COVID-19 and deaths. Also, the COVID-19 vaccines have various efficacy ratings, meaning that they won’t provide perfect, 100% protection. That’s why there’s a theoretical risk that fully vaccinated people can still get infected. They might pass the virus to others as well, even if they don’t develop symptoms themselves.
