tapper. the cdc released its full set of guidance for americans, loosening some specific restri restrictions. if grandparents can be vaccinated they can visit their daughter and family even if they have not been vaccinated so long as their daughter and her family are not at risk for severe disease. vaccinated americans will still need to wear a mask in public and many other settings with unvaccinated people and travel is being discouraged for now. there s also a turning point in the battle against coronavirus today. there are now more than 31 million people fully vaccinated in the u.s., and that is more than all the americans infected during this entire pandemic, as cnn s nick watt reports. you can visit your grandparents if you have been vaccinated and they have been, too. reporter: finally, guidance for the fully vaccinated. how the government would like you to behave. fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing a m

This is the fifth major event that wise has organized on the issue of the integration of women in the military.
