Visits and small gatherings in private settings, such as popping by to see a friend or watching a movie with a small group, are considered low-risk for fully vaccinated people. There is still a risk, however, of a fully vaccinated person transmitting the virus if they are infected. (Getty Images)
Because the addition of another household increases the risk of transmission, fully vaccinated people should wear masks and maintain distance when interacting with members from multiple households. For example, if vaccinated grandparents visit their unvaccinated daughter and grandchildren and the neighbors come over, the gathering should be moved outside and physical distance should be maintained.

Regardless of vaccination status, people should continue to avoid large gatherings such as concerts, festivals, conferences, parades, weddings and sporting events. (Getty Images)
Fully vaccinated people can visit unvaccinated people who are at low risk as long as the unvaccinated people aren’t from a household with high-risk individuals without masks or social distancing. “For example,” the CDC says, “fully vaccinated grandparents can visit indoors with their unvaccinated, healthy daughter and her healthy children without wearing masks or physical distancing, provided none of the unvaccinated family members are at risk of severe COVID-19.” (Getty Images)
Visits between vaccinated people and unvaccinated people present little risk to vaccinated people, so precautions should be taken based on protecting unvaccinated people. (Getty Images)
Vaccinated people visiting with unvaccinated people from a single household that has individuals at risk of severe COVID-19 should take precautions including wearing a mask, maintaining physical distance and staying outdoors. (Getty Images)
While the risk is lower, public spaces like the gym still increase exposure to unvaccinated people. Fully vaccinated people should continue to wear masks, maintain distance and wash their hands frequently in these spaces. (Getty Images)
The CDC has not updated its travel recommendations. People should continue to avoid travel, but if you must, get tested before and after as well as quarantine. (Getty Images)
The risk is low that a fully vaccinated person will contract COVID-19, but symptoms should be presented to a health care provider and the person showing symptoms should isolate immediately. (Getty Images)
Fully vaccinated people with no COVID-like symptoms do not need to quarantine or be tested following an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 as their risk of infection is low, but they should keep an eye out for symptoms for two weeks following the exposure. (Getty Images)
Fully vaccinated residents of non-health care congregate settings such as homeless shelters, halfways houses and prisons should quarantine following exposure. The high turnover and dense population of these settings warrants extra precaution. (Getty Images)
