CDC Updates Guidance for Fully Vaccinated People to Include Travel

Still, the agency is not recommending non-essential travel at this time due to the rising number of coronavirus cases.

THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE Control and Prevention on Friday updated guidance for fully vaccinated individuals, saying they can resume travel both in the U.S. and abroad at a low risk.

Fully vaccinated individuals who have waited two weeks after their final dose should still wear a mask and practice social distancing while traveling. They do not need to quarantine after their trips if they follow the standard mitigation measures, according to the updated guidance.

"With millions of Americans getting vaccinated every day, it is important to update the public on the latest science about what fully vaccinated people can do safely, now including guidance on safe travel," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. "We continue to encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as it's their turn, so we can begin to safely take steps back to our everyday lives. Vaccines can help us return to the things we love about life, so we encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as they have the opportunity."

While vaccinated individuals do not need to be tested for the coronavirus before they leave the U.S. – unless it is mandated by their destination – they should "still have a negative COVID-19 test result before they board a flight to the United States and get a COVID-19 test 3 to 5 days after returning from international travel," according to the agency.

CDC's previous guidance for vaccinated individuals issued last month did not recommend travel. But Walensky said at a press briefing on Friday that while the CDC believes that fully vaccinated people can travel at low risk to themselves, "CDC is not recommending travel at this time due to the rising number of cases."

The agency continued to recommend against non-essential travel by those who are not fully vaccinated.

The U.S. is averaging close to 3 million vaccinations per day. Nearly 17% of the total U.S. population has been fully vaccinated, according to CDC data.
