How to Protect Yourself & Others
Vaccine Effectiveness in the USA
With 80% of Americans vaccinated, it is clear that the vaccines are working. In fact, vaccinated people are much less likely to experience hospitalization and deaths as a result of COVID-19.
This updated guidance is intended to apply to community settings. In the coming weeks CDC will work to align stand-alone guidance documents, such as those for healthcare settings, congregate settings at higher risk of transmission, and travel, with today’s update.
Get Vaccinated
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Hundreds of millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.
Wear a Mask
Masks are a key measure to reduce transmission and save lives. Wearing well-fitted masks should be used as part of a comprehensive ‘Do it all!’ approach including maintaining physical distancing, avoiding crowded, closed and close-contact settings, ensuring good ventilation of indoor spaces, cleaning hands regularly, and covering sneezes and coughs with a tissue of bent elbow.
Stay 6 feet away from others
You know what it means: Reducing close contact between people. You know why it's important: It helps prevent the spread of COVID-19. And you know what it looks like: Keeping 6 feet of distance between yourself and others.
