Activities You Can Start Doing Again if You’re Fully Vaccinated

If you’re fully vaccinated for COVID-19, you can start doing many things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic.

When choosing safer activities, consider how COVID-19 is spreading in your community, the number of people participating in the activity, and the location of the activity.

If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, find a vaccine.
