Vaccinated? Great. You should still wear a mask when gathering in public, experts say.

What are mask recommendations for people who are vaccinated?

In March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidelines for what fully vaccinated people can do. Some restrictions were loosened: People who are fully immunized can socialize with each other, ignoring masks and physical distancing. It’s also okay to relax those precautions when meeting with non-vaccinated, low-risk members of a single household.

But, in public, everyone should continue to wear masks, the agency said.

Those guidelines “are absolutely appropriate for this moment in time,” said Megan Ranney, an emergency medicine physician and professor at Brown University. “There just aren’t enough of us who have immunity yet for it to be safe to take those masks off in public.”
