The CDC has very specific guidance about what vaccinated people should do if they are exposed to someone with COVID-19, or if they test positive themselves.
But doctors say this virus -- which can be deadly for an unvaccinated person -- most often leads to much milder symptoms in those who already got their shots, with a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysis findingA mobile COVID-19 testing site operates in a busy street on Aug. 31, 2021 in New York City.
But if a vaccinated person receives a positive test result or has symptoms after exposure, they should isolate for 10 days. A repeat test is not needed at the end of the 10-day isolation period, though the person should be fever-free for at least 24 hours before ending quarantine. Since those who are vaccinated and infected with COVID-19 are still able to transmit the virus, their close contacts should also be contacted and tested. A close contact is a person who has spent more than 15 minutes with a COVID-19 positive person while unmasked and less than 6 feet apart.A sign posted at the entrance of a store tells people not to enter without a mask in Los Angeles, July 23, 2021.
