Updated CDC Quarantine Guidance for Fully Vaccinated Individuals

Feb 25, 2021
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced new guidance that fully vaccinated persons with an exposure to someone with COVID-19 are not required to quarantine if they meet certain criteria.

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) provides the following information regarding recently announced updated CDC quarantine guidance for fully vaccinated individuals:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced new guidance that fully vaccinated persons with an exposure to someone with COVID-19 are not required to quarantine if they meet all of the following criteria:

  • Are fully vaccinated (had both doses, and at least two weeks have passed since the second dose).
  • Received last dose within three months.
  • Have not had symptoms since current COVID-19 exposure.

Fully vaccinated persons should still watch for symptoms for 14 days after their exposure. They should also continue to wear masks, practice social distancing, and keep their social circles small.

An exception to the guidance is that vaccinated inpatients and residents in healthcare settings should continue to quarantine following an exposure to someone with COVID-19.

Persons who do not meet all three criteria should continue to follow current quarantine guidance after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
