The two people who have been vaccinated against Corona 19 can meet without much risk, Anthony Pouch, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said yesterday (25th local time).
"When two people get vaccinated, the risk is extremely low, although it is not zero," said Pouch, who appeared on CNN the night before and "you can start meeting individually."
"When my daughter has been vaccinated twice, she will come home and give her a hug she hasn't been able to do in the past year," Pouch added.
Pouch, 80, was classified as a high-risk group due to his old age, and has already been vaccinated with the Corona 19 vaccine twice.
In the U.S., as people who have fully vaccinated COVID-19 come out, wondering whether they can freely go out, travel, and meet people.
In response, health experts say that the risk of getting seriously ill or dying is significantly lowered by getting the Corona 19 vaccine, but there is still the possibility of having the coronavirus in the body or transmitting it to others.
The CDC, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which provides health guidelines for Americans, has issued a recommendation that vaccinations do not need to be quarantined even if they have come into contact with a person infected with COVID-19, but there are no other guidelines yet.
Pouch said on the 23rd that he expects the CDC to come up with instructions for those who have completed vaccination soon.
