More and more people are getting the COVID-19 vaccine, hoping to get one step closer to normalcy.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control confirmed that more than 72 million people, 21% of the population, have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine across the nation.
The Food and Drug Administration currently authorized three COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use, including Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson.
As more across the nation become eligible for the vaccine, you may be wondering when you will be fully vaccinated.
However, immunity to COVID-19 doesn’t just happen overnight, The Atlantic reported.
CDC guidelines confirm that people become fully vaccinated at least two weeks after the last case in the COVID-19 vaccine. This timeline often shows that most people are thought to have enough immunity to defend against the asymptomatic case of COVID-19.
The CDC has also released a list of recommendations for people who are fully vaccinated.

Fully vaccinated people can gather indoors with those who are also fully vaccinated. They do not need to quarantine or be tested if they’re exposed to the coronavirus -- as long as they don’t have symptoms. If they’re two weeks past their final shot, fully vaccinated people can visit indoors with unvaccinated members of a single household at low risk without wearing a mask or maintaining social distance.
However, people who are fully vaccinated must still take precautions in specific scenarios:
• Fully vaccinated people must continue to wear a mask and keep a physical distance around those who are not vaccinated or is at a higher risk for COVID-19.
• Fully vaccinated people must also wear a mask and keep a distance when around unvaccinated people from multiple households.
