Biden: New CDC Guidance Should Spur Younger People to Get a COVID-19 Vaccine

The newly updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance stating that people who have been fully vaccinated can enjoy a range of activities outside without wearing masks should spur younger people to get a COVID-19 vaccine, President Joe Biden said on Tuesday.

The CDC now says people who have gotten their final COVID-19 shot and waited two weeks can go without a mask doing most activities outdoors, unless theyโ€™re in a large crowd.

โ€œThe bottom line is clear: if youโ€™re vaccinated, you can do more things more safely both outdoors as well as indoors. So for those who havenโ€™t gotten their vaccination yet, especially if you are younger or think you donโ€™t need it, this is another great reason to go get vaccinated now. Now,โ€ Biden said in remarks from the North Lawn at the White House.

โ€œYes, the vaccines are about saving your life. But also the lives of the people around you. But theyโ€™re also about helping us get back to closer to normal in our living, more normal living. Getting together with friends, going to the park for a picnic without needing to mask up. We are back to that place now, as long as you get vaccinated. Go get the shot. Itโ€™s never been easier. And once you are fully vaccinated, you can go without a mask when youโ€™re outside and away from big crowds,โ€ he added.

The new guidance says people who are either vaccinated or not can safely walk, run, or bike outdoors with people from their household without masks, in addition to attending small gatherings with fully vaccinated family and friends.

But those who are not vaccinated should keep wearing masks if there are unvaccinated people at outdoor gatherings or if theyโ€™re dining at an outdoor restaurant with friends from multiple households, according to the health agency.

And regardless of vaccination status, people should wear masks when attending crowded outdoor events like a live performance.
