You're not considered "fully vaccinated" until 2 weeks after your last shot (the 2nd Pfizer or Moderna shot or the single Johnson & Johnson's shot). The Philadelphia region is now seeing cases of individuals getting sick and testing positive for COVID-19, even after receiving the first of two COVID-19 vaccine shots. Remember to continue to wear masks, practice social distancing, and keep up with increased hand hygiene, even after getting vaccinated.
Check out the CDC's latest guidance and recommendations for individuals who have been fully vaccinated, including when you may gather without masks, or when you may see unvaccinated family and friends.
