The CDC considers full vaccination status as follows:
* 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
* 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
If it has been less than 2 weeks since your 1-dose shot, or if you still need to get your second dose of a 2-dose vaccine, you are NOT fully protected.
Keep taking all preventative steps until you are fully vaccinated.
Regarding workplace environment, the CDC recommends that in public spaces, fully vaccinated people should continue to follow guidance to protect themselves and others, including wearing a well-fitted mask, physical distancing (at least 6 feet), avoiding crowds, avoiding poorly ventilated spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often, and following any applicable workplace or school guidance.
Fully vaccinated people should still watch for symptoms of COVID-19, especially following an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. If symptoms develop, all people – regardless of vaccination status – should isolate and be clinically evaluated for COVID-19, including SARS-CoV-2 testing, if indicated.
CDC will continue to evaluate and update public health recommendations for vaccinated people as more information, including on new variants, becomes available.
