People who are completely vaccinated against coronavirus can travel without putting themselves at serious risk as long as they wear masks and take other precautions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday, moderating their overall position against travel. , even continuing to discourage him.
The new guide comes when studies have shown that Covid-19 vaccines have been effective in real-world conditions to reduce the risk of symptoms with or without symptoms.
Despite the CDC’s determination that travel is a low-risk activity for vaccinated people, officials still advise against it as Covid-19 cases in the U.S. increase.
“Our responsibility at the CDC is to examine the evolution of the evidence of the least risk that can be done when fully vaccinated,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Friday. But with the majority of the population still unvaccinated and cases on the rise, “I would advocate general travel in general,” he said.
The CDC relaxed some of its safety guidelines for inoculated people last month, but continued to warn of unnecessary travel. Dr. Walensky has advocated against people to avoid non-essential travel in recent weeks, citing rises in the case of figures that have followed holiday periods when travel was picked up.
