But what about pollen? Photo: Mike Blake/REUTERS As evidence mounts that vaccines are effective at blunting transmission of the coronavirus , the Centers for Disease Control released long-awaited new guidance for those fully vaccinated on Thursday, saying they can ditch a mask in most scenarios.
Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a face mask or stay six feet away from others in most settings, whether outdoors or indoors, the CDC said. The agency carved out exceptions for hospitals and crowded indoor spaces, such as planes, trains, and mass transit. Walensky also warned that people who are immunocompromised should speak with their doctors before shedding their masks.
The update comes as the agency came under fire for being too slow to react to changing science. In justifying the move, Walensky pointed to three recent studies that showed COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing mild and severe disease, hospitalizations, and deaths in real-world settings.
Game on!
But since we can not tell the vaccinated from the non-vaccinated, I will wear my mask indoors and in crowds.
It seems like the CDC is the last to realize this, no kidding.

It was a bad move SpencerJCox to remove mask mandates in Utah schools.
