After You’ve Been Vaccinated Version en Español Get Your Vaccine Record Protecting Yourself and Others After Getting Vaccinated Tested, safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are helping us safely get back to the people and places we love. It is important to know when you are fully vaccinated and the steps we all need to take to keep protecting each other after you’re vaccinated. When am I considered fully vaccinated? You are fully vaccinated two weeks after your final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. This means: For two-dose vaccines, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, you are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after your second dose. For a single-dose vaccine, such as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after your dose. If it has been less than two weeks since your final shot for the vaccine, then you are not fully protected yet. After I am fully vaccinated, what can I do differently? Once you are fully vaccinated: You can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic. To reduce the risk of being infected with the Delta variant and possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission. You can travel in the US without getting tested or self-quarantining after traveling. You can opt-out from routine COVID-19 screening testing, such as at work or school. Visit the Centers for Disease Control’s When You’ve Been Fully Vaccinated webpage for more information on how to protect yourself and others. Do I still need to wear a mask or get tested? Following the July 27 guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), all unvaccinated individuals should wear a face covering all indoor public settings. Fully vaccinated individuals should wear a face covering in all indoor public spaces if you live in a county of high or substantial levels of transmission as defined by the CDC, until more people are vaccinated and viral transmission decreases. Everyone, including people who are fully vaccinated, should wear a face covering in all K-12 schools, child care, indoor settings with a large number of children or child-focused activities (e.g., children’s museums), public transportation, health care settings, high density congregate settings (e.g., correction and detention facilities, homeless shelters, migrant farm camps), and large crowded indoor venues (e.g., arenas, stadiums).
