 Dr Shahjahan P A, Specialist Internal Medicine, Aster Clinic, Al Qusais (Damascus St.)

Millions of people around the world have now been safely vaccinated against COVID-19, bringing us all one step closer to getting back to normal life. Citizens are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Sinopharm or Covi-shield, or 2 weeks after the single-dose Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. Currently, there are limited data available on vaccine protection in people who are immunocompromised.

Safety Measures for Fully Vaccinated People

• Resume indoor and outdoor activities following safety measures
• Fully vaccinated people can reduce the risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 to unvaccinated people.
• Fully vaccinated people should still get tested if experiencing Covid-19 symptoms.
• Fully vaccinated people should not visit private or public settings if they have tested positive for Covid-19 at least 10 days prior or experiencing Covid-19 symptoms & also follow tips on how to use public transport during covid-19 to avoid spreading the virus
• Fully vaccinated people should continue to follow any applicable Federal, State, Local, Tribal or Territorial laws, rules, and regulations.
