So while the advice may be well meant. I am not sure any of the previous posters actually know anything or if they are simply posting how they would interpret current policy that does not take into account an increasingly vaccinated population at some point down the road.

But keep on postulating.


The question relates to the present and near future, not some speculative world.


+1. The answers stating that she would not be exempt are correct. The explanations for why that is the current policy are correct.

It is possible that current policy will changes as (a) people get their second dose and the time passes for full effectiveness and (b) (possibly) the science develops to show that someone vaccinated cannot pass the virus on to someone else.

What may or may not be the rules in the future would be speculative and of little help to OP.

No.

They don't know yet if the vaccine prevents you from getting Covid (and thereby being unable to transmit it) or if it just keeps you from getting symptoms if you do catch Covid (but you would still be able to expose/infect others).

Until the vaccine is widely available, people with the vaccine should continue to mask, distance, etc.

While she will not get sick, she can still bring the virus to you and others... Still needs to mask and quarentine.

You aren't fully vaccinated until two weeks after the second shot.

And no, there is no provision exempting visitors who have been vaccinated from the quarantine rules.

Why would she be exempt? She can potentially bring it to people here even if she can’t get it herself.

No one is fully vaccinated yet. It takes two shots about a month apart, and then time for full immunity to develop. So the question is moot.

my mom who is scheduled to get vaccinated next week is planning to visit DC next month. i think below is the latest on the visitor restrictions/requirements but it doesn't say about vaccinated visitors. does anyone know?


For visitors coming into DC:
These requirements apply to anyone traveling into Washington, DC from a state with a running
seven (7) day average COVID-19 rate of more than 10 cases per 100,000 people or a country
with a Level 3 (high risk) Travel Health Notice for COVID-19 on the Centers for Disease Control
website.
