President Joe Biden spoke from the White House lawn on the new CDC guidance.
“Go get the shot. It’s never been easier. And once you’re fully vaccinated, you can go without a mask when you’re outside and away from big crowds.”
The CDC says you’re considered fully vaccinated two weeks after your second shot when receiving Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two weeks after receiving the single-shot Johnson & Johnson.
