CDC today says no need to quarantine after vaccine if exposed to Covid

Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC

This is a great first step towards acknowledging the protection the vaccine offers. I'm hoping the next step us lifting the 7 day quarantine when you return home after a trip

Great news!  This should definitely Help the travel and. Cruise industry.

Whoops typed quickly while waiting in line for a covid test.

I meant to say this will definitely Help!  With all travel.

This will definitely push the cruise lines to accelerate their pressure on the CDC to allow a return to cruising. 

[ONECRUISER]

The new rules mean people can skip quarantine if they:

• Got the second dose of a vaccine more than 2 weeks ago, but less than 3 months ago.
• Experienced no symptoms of COVID-19 since they were exposed.        ....The guidance admitted that it is not yet clear whether someone who has been vaccinated could still pass on the coronavirus to someone else.

For the time being, I believe in two classes of cruisers.  The vaccinated and unvaccinated.  If someone in your travel group is not vaccinated (such as children), you'll ofcourse remain with them.

[smokeybandit]

Yet you'd still need a negative test to get on a ship or to fly into the USA.

Hold on...  unless I'm reading this wrong, this advice only applies for 3 months after you get the the final shot.  After 3 months you will need to quarantine.  You must meet all 3 criteria to be eligible not to quarantine.

 

However, vaccinated persons with an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 are not required to quarantine if they meet all of the following criteria^†:

• Are fully vaccinated (i.e., ≥2 weeks following receipt of the second dose in a 2-dose series, or ≥2 weeks following receipt of one dose of a single-dose vaccine)
• Are within 3 months following receipt of the last dose in the series
• Have remained asymptomatic since the current COVID-19 exposure

Persons who do not meet all 3 of the above criteria should continue to follow current quarantine guidance after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

I did not read it all. In that case cruisers are screwed if their cruise is more than 3 months after their last vaccine. Will travelers have to get the vaccine every 3 months?

That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement of the current vaccines. I wonder about the J&J vaccine, which I was already leaning towards.

[suzyluvs2cruise]

Doesn't this only apply to those who have been exposed to someone with Covid-19? 

[smokeybandit]

There's evidence antibodies last upwards of 12 months, but the CDC is going very, very, very conservative.

[Mapleleafforever]

Not much has changed......must not gloss over this part.....

 

"At this time, vaccinated persons should continue to follow current guidance to protect themselves and others, including wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet away from others, avoiding crowds, avoiding poorly ventilated spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often, following CDC travel guidance, and following any applicable workplace or school guidance, including guidance related to personal protective equipment use or SARS-CoV-2 testing."

Yup, thats what I also Posted above. Not much really changed, keep distance, still want wear mask and out caution if exposed still stay away from others

That sounds nice meanwhile the UK sage people (who advise the government) They are just SAGE whatever that means are claiming masks will be here "forever" on public transportation and the likes. So on cruise ships sailing out or into UK. There words not mine.

As everyday comes with new releases from many different health authorities across the world, let's hope this 3 month requirement with the US CDC gets extended when we have a better idea on the amount of time the average person retains antibodies once vaccinated.    I think the CDC is being very conservative with their 3 month rule but it's too early to let our guard down.

Please post a link to this. SAGE are saying Coronavirus will be here forever- as is flu. Cannot find anywhere where they quote masks will be here forever

 

On another note why don't you go and find a useful hobby to fill your time. There are many opportunities in the UK for charitable volunteering where you could put your empty hours to good use 🙄

Check the daily mail it is on the front of the webpage in big letters.

If you think people are going to abide by this rule of 6 forever they have another thing coming. It is one thing if that statement is people wear them themselves and people might but making you do it the rest of your life. That will cost Johnson the election.

No, it means if exposed, if you meet all the criteria you dont have to quarantine (ie for work).

[broadwaybaby123]

I guess it make sense.  The vaccines are supposed to reduce the likelihood of transmission of COVID from one person to another.  However, we don't know if transmission is only reduced or preventable from the vaccines until more data is available.

I Didnt say anything anything about Quarantine/Not. But, you still have be in that small window of less then 3 months to not Quarantine. If exposed I'd still Quarantine for Family/Friends. As stated in my first Post: 

The new rules mean people can skip quarantine if they:

• Got the second dose of a vaccine more than 2 weeks ago, but less than 3 months ago.
• Experienced no symptoms of COVID-19 since they were exposed.        ....The guidance admitted that it is not yet clear whether someone who has been vaccinated could still pass on the coronavirus to someone else.
