Why some fully vaccinated people are still wearing masks
⋮
Although CDC in its latest guidance said fully vaccinated people can forgo masks in most situations, some fully vaccinated people are opting to keep their masks on for now—and plan to do so for the foreseeable future.
What CDC's new guidance says
In guidance issued last week, CDC said Americans who have received their final Covid-19 vaccine dose at least two weeks previously can go without a mask and do not need to socially distance in most situations.
However, fully vaccinated Americans should continue wearing masks in health care facilities, such as hospitals; on public transit and during air travel; when around the immunocompromised; and in congregate settings, such as homeless shelters or jails, CDC said. Vaccinated Americans should also continue to abide by local and federal mask mandates.
