CDC director unveils new mask guidelines for fully vaccinated Americans

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unveiled updated guidelines on Tuesday detailing activities that vaccinated people can safely resume, including attending small outdoor gatherings without the need to wear a mask. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said fully vaccinated individuals "can take a step back to the normalcy of before."

In general, people are considered fully vaccinated: 

  • 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 you don’t meet these requirements, you are NOT fully vaccinated. Keep taking all precautions until you are fully vaccinated.

Get protected! All New Jersey residents age 12 or older are now eligible for a free COVID-19 vaccination. The New Jersey “mega-sites” and some CVS and Walgreens pharmacies will serve 12-17 year olds, accompanied by a parent or guardian. 

Full list of clinics (locations showing a minimum age of 12 may offer the Pfizer vaccine - call ahead before scheduling). 
Hopewell Valley residents 18 or older may email to be contacted about local vaccination opportunities.
