Yes, if you and your friends or family are fully vaccinated, gathering in small groups without masks is considered low-risk. Although it’s possible that people who are fully vaccinated could still spread the virus, the vaccines are excellent at protecting you from severe illness, hospitalization, and death due to COVID-19.
Hopefully, we can start to view COVID-19 like influenza: the flu vaccine reduces flu severity and decreases your chances of going to the hospital for pneumonia, but does not completely eliminate the virus.
Regardless of your vaccination status, if you experience Covid 19 Symptoms you should avoid close interactions with others. If you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the prior 10 days before a planned visit, you should refrain from visiting others.
Can I see family and friends who don’t yet have the vaccine, and socialize without my mask if I am fully vaccinated?
The risk that you’ll develop COVID-19 is low if you are vaccinated and attend a gathering indoors with others who are not vaccinated. However, please be aware that you can potentially spread the virus to others. Vaccination does not completely shield you from becoming infected with the virus; it just lessens symptoms and severity of disease. So, it’s possible that you could have no symptoms or only very mild symptoms, and still pass the virus to your family and friends who are not yet vaccinated.
The new recommendations below are based on the vaccination status of yourself and your family members or friends. As we learn more, these recommendations may change.
If you are fully vaccinated and visiting fully vaccinated family or friends:
Indoor visits without masks are okay and likely low-risk.
If you are fully vaccinated and visiting healthy but not yet vaccinated people ages 64 or younger living in a single household:
Indoor visits without masks are okay and likely low-risk. Although spreading the virus is still possible, the risk of healthy — and particularly younger — individuals developing severe COVID-19 is low.
Be aware that if older people do get COVID-19, their risk for hospitalization and death is much higher than the risk for younger people. A 60-year-old has a higher risk than a 50-year-old, and a 50-year-old is at higher risk than a 40-year-old. Learn more on this CDC page explaining risks by age group.
If you are fully vaccinated and visiting a single household of family or friends who are not yet vaccinated, and are at risk for severe COVID-19 due to age (65 or older) or health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, sickle cell disease, or other specific conditions:
All of you should wear well-fitted masks and stay six feet away from each other when indoors. If possible, hold the visit outdoors or in a well-ventilated space to reduce risk.
Mixing two or more households that have people who aren’t yet vaccinated raises the risk for getting the virus that causes COVID-19 for anyone who isn’t vaccinated.
Generally, the more closely people interact and the longer they spend with others, the higher the risk of getting or spreading the virus, according to the CDC.
When possible, everyone gathering for a visit can lower risk further by avoiding contact with people outside their household for 14 days before a visit, and/or by getting tested for the virus.
What if my partner or people in my household aren’t vaccinated?
You can do your part to help keep your partner or household members who have not yet been vaccinated safe. Although it may not be feasible to wear a mask or stay at a distance within the house, you can maintain these strict measures outside of the home. This will help to reduce your chance of exposure to the virus, and thus decrease the risk of passing the virus to your partner or household members. Your unvaccinated partner or housemates should abide by the same guidelines: wear a well-fitted mask, wash hands frequently, maintain physical distance, and avoid crowds in places outside of the home.
