CDC Says Fully Vaccinated People Can Gather With Each Other Without Masks CBS SF Bay Area 3/9/2021 Syndicated Local – CBS San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF/AP/KPIX) — As California surpasses the 10 million mark in vaccines distributed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new guidance Monday that allows fully vaccinated Americans to gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing. The CDC guidelines offer a potential roadmap to returning to normal once more people have an opportunity to get vaccinated, including being able to gather indoors without masks or socially distancing once fully vaccinated with others who are vaccinated. To be considered fully vaccinated, you must wait two weeks after the second dose for the immune system to protect against the virus.
