Answers
Answer:
The best strategy to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 is to continue to follow the CDC’s recommended public health guidelines to help prevent transmission of COVID-19, including wearing a mask, practicing physical distancing, washing your hands frequently, and avoiding crowds. Read more tips below.
In early December 2020, the first COVID-19 vaccines were approved for use in the US using the FDA’s “Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)” process. At this time, all COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. are approved for use in people ages 18 and up, with the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine also approved for use in people ages 12 and up. As a COVID-19 vaccination provider, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides vaccinations according to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local departments of health. We are following the national vaccine distribution plan, which is occurring in a phased approach. Read more about CHOP's COVID-19 Vaccine Program.
Guidance for vaccinated individuals
According to the CDC’s most recent guidance, fully vaccinated individuals can spend time indoors with small groups of other people who have been fully vaccinated without wearing a mask or physically distancing. Fully vaccinated people can also spend time indoors with unvaccinated members of a single household without wearing a mask, provided the unvaccinated individuals are at low risk of COVID-19. Masks are no longer necessary outdoors for fully vaccinated people, except for in crowded areas and venues.
Even for fully vaccinated individuals, however, gathering in large groups is still not recommended. Because we don’t yet know if COVID-19 vaccines fully protect against asymptomatic transmission of the virus, fully vaccinated people should continue to wear a mask and practice physical distancing in public and when spending time indoors with members of multiple households. Please refer to the CDC for the latest guidance.
Prepare and protect yourself from COVID-19
Wash your hands often with soap and clean, running water for at least 20 seconds.
If you don’t have access to soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer often. Make sure it has at least 60% alcohol.
Don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth unless you have clean hands.
As much as possible, don't touch "high-touch" public surfaces such as doorknobs and handles, cabinet handles, and light switches. Don't shake hands.
Clean home and work surfaces often with disinfectant. This includes desk surfaces, printers, phones, kitchen counters, tables, fridge door handle, bathroom surfaces, and any soiled surface. Closely follow disinfectant label instructions. See the CDC’s cleaning website for detailed instructions.
Cough or sneeze into a tissue, then throw the tissue into the trash. If you don't have tissues, cough or sneeze into the bend of your elbow.
The CDC advises wearing a cloth face mask in public. During a public health emergency, medical face masks may be reserved for healthcare workers. Your mask should have at least two layers, should fit snugly against your face and should cover both your mouth and nose. Learn more about using masks to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Stay away from people who are sick.
Stay informed about COVID-19 in your area. Follow local instructions about being in public. Be aware of events in your community that may be postponed or canceled, such as school and sporting events. You may be advised not to attend public gatherings and to stay about 6 feet from others as much as possible. This is called "physical distancing."
Check your home supplies. Consider keeping a 2-week supply of medicines, food, and other needed household items.
Make a plan for childcare, work, and ways to stay in touch with others. Know who will help you if you get sick.
Experts don't know if animals spread SARS-CoV-2. But it's always a good idea to wash your hands after touching any animals. Don't touch animals that may be sick.
Don’t share eating or drinking utensils with sick people.
Don’t kiss or hug someone who is sick.
