[MCOH-EH] [EXTERNAL] Post Vaccination Quarantine

[Swift, Melanie D., M.D., M.P.H.]

Yes, for now we would continue this practice. The vaccine is not 100% effective, so ~5% of people will remain susceptible to symptomatic COVID infection. We also don’t yet know exactly how it impacts the acquisition of asymptomatic – but potentially contagious – infection.

Good morning.
Has anyone been asked what to do for your employees that you would normally quarantine because they are close household contacts of covid positive individuals after they have received the full vaccination schedule for covid?
The question came up here and we said that at the present time they needed to quarantine following the CDC guidelines.
Any thoughts for your employees after they receive the second dose and after 1-2 weeks?
So for we have immunized over 6k employees with the first dosage.
Thanks
