Nevertheless, on Friday, more than 118 million shots had entered the weapons and about42 million people, 12.6% of the population of the nation, had been fully vaccinated. Nearly a quarter of American residents had at least one dose.

The deployment of vaccination is finally rising - just like the mortal winter overvoltage is over, significantly reducing infection, hospitalizations and deaths. President Joe Biden promised enough vaccine forEach adult in the country At the end of May and hung up for a return to the half-normalityIn July 4th of July.

We will see if this happens. Unfortunately, poorly appreciated behavior, or a mutant strain of theCOVID virus - or both - could always ignite another overvoltage. And we are not quite certain to what extent vaccination prevents you from infecting unvaccinated persons or the duration during which it protects against COVID.

In the end: optimism is justified, but we all - even the vaccinated - still have to pay attention. Read on what experts say you can do safely after vaccination - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

What's going on and not doing after vaccination

If you missed it, disease control and prevention centers have been publishedPublic health guidelines March 8 which offered a small overview of what the future not so far away could hold so enough people are vaccinated. The most striking point was that it's ok for vaccinated people to meet inside withnon-vaccinatedMembers of another household, without masks, as long as no one in this household is at risk of Grave Covid.

It's a big news if you have not seen your children or your grandchildren in person for a while. If you are fully vaccinated, it is now likely to be able to visit with them inside without masks, regardless of their vaccination status. You can even kiss them.

As long as they do not live too far, that is, the CDCALWAYS FRONCE THE EROWS on long distance trips.

If everyone in your group is vaccinated, so much the better. In this case, the accommodation of a dinner without mask inside your home, for example, is "probably a low risk" according to the new guidelines.

But Dr. George Rutherford, Professor of Epidemiology at the University of California-San Francisco, warns not to interpret this new freedom too liberally: "People say," Oh, we can have a wedding reception for 50 people in A hotel so long. as they are all vaccinated. I say, "What about people who serve you - are they all vaccinated? And the group?" "

Be better sure that sorry after vaccination, let's say experts

Public health experts and the CDC agree that if you are vaccinated and in the company of people who are not - or if you do not know their status - you should continue masking backups and maintain your distance.

"What I'm saying to vaccinated people is:" You should assume that you are one of the 5 or 6% for which vaccination will fail and everyone around you is a great spreader, "says Rutherford.

This means that you should probably press your interior brakes before going to a movie, work in a gym, boarding a plane or a dining room inside a restaurant.

Dr. Walter Orenstein, Associate Director of the Emory Vaccine Center and Infectious Disease Professor at Emorory University School of Medicine, highlights a possible profit from the new CDC approach. "This can improve vaccine absorption if it shows people that once you are vaccinated, you have more freedom to do things," he says.

Oresenstein, like most public health experts, recognizes that we always have an incomplete image of Covid and how vaccines will work in the real world. Managers must define guidelines based on the best data available at that time, he says. "If, in fact, there is a marked tip in the case of this fact, they will have to revise them."

For now, Orenstein says, he incorporates the new guidelines in his personal life. "We had not had people in our house for ages and last night we had a couple," he said. They were all vaccinated and they did not wear masks.

Others are suspicious to relax too early, even if they have been vaccinated.

"I feel a real life of relief, but it has not changed behavior," said Sandmire, a 65-year-old retired gymnastics coach in Boise, Idaho, who had two doses of the Moderna vaccine. "I always mask and will continue to hide and put the social distance until science showed that I can not infect others."

Andy Mosley, 74, says he is not entirely convinced by the new DCC statement. "The information we could start getting out with the other, have been at the end of many qualifiers," said Mosley, resident of Temecula, California, who also has two strokes of Moderna vaccines. "It tells me they are not really sure of that."

But he can change his behavior in one case. He did not see his daughter, a chef who lives in San Francisco since October 2019. It is planned for surgery and may need his help. "Because she was immunized and I was vaccinated and her roommate was immune, I would feel safe up there," said Mosley. "So that would be a change. But I'll drive; I will not fly."

Many others, including state and region politicians, are less cautious. Texas recently eliminated its mask mandate. Florida remained largely open for business thanks to a large part of the pandemic.

Experts are worried too early will lead to new overvoltages

In California, 13 counties representing nearly half of the state populationhave reopened Gyms, theaters of cinema and indoor restoration dinner - well at reduced levels.Which includes the County of Los Angeles, one of the most affected areas in the United States during winter thrust. And GOV. Gavin Newsom suggested that the four-level California color coded system for progressive reopening could soon add aTier "green" - Meaning pretty much at normal.

However, Michael Osterholm, Director of theCenter for Research and Policy of Infectious Disease At the University of Minnesota, said that the localities that open too early "will be in big problems shortly" because of a further increase it plans to be triggered by a rapid propagation COVID tensor first detected in the United Kingdom, which should become the dominant strain in the United Statessometimes this month.

For now, stick with masking and physical distancing in most social and commercial meetings. Be vaccinated as soon as it's your turn and try to persuade people of your life to do the same. The more people are vaccinated, the greater the protection of the community.

In the near future, we can all have an additional incentive to be vaccinated: proof of vaccination could be necessary forflightsports events, concerts and other mass public gatherings. It isto be considered In some parts of the United States and already occurs in some countries.

Israel, for example, started to issueVaccination of six months "passports"This would enroll sporting events, restaurants and other public places. This has created this type of thrust for people who otherwise might not want to be invited to be vaccinated," says Rutherford. So be vaccinated when it becomes available when it becomes available to you, and protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit these35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
