The CDC is now recommending that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors in areas with high COVID-19 transmission. The goal behind this guidance may be to protect both the fully vaccinated and the unvaccinated, health experts say, especially vaccinated individuals who may be immunocompromised and children under 12 who aren’t eligible to get their shot, yet. Experts suspect the new recommendations may be more successful in getting unvaccinated Americans to wear masks in public and empowering businesses and schools to implement mask mandates without requiring proof of vaccination.
