However, unvaccinated or partially-vaccinated people should be more cautious and take measures like wearing a mask, gathering outside and getting tested in advance of any celebrations.
"If you are unvaccinated, the guidance is not going to really differ all that much from last year for obvious reasons," said Dr. Natalie Azar, NBC News' medical correspondent.While vaccinated people will be largely safe to celebrate the holidays as normal, the CDC does advise taking some precautions, especially if you are traveling or gathering with large groups.
