[MCOH-EH] Exposure assessment of fully vaccinated HCPs with presumptive Delta variant versus earlier variants

[Wendland, Douglas]

We are not currently considering these types of exposures in fully vaccinated HCWs to be high risk.  Therefore, no quarantine, counsel on symptoms, and test if symptoms develop.

Trying to get a consensus...are you managing exposures in fully vaccinated HCPs  to COVID-19 patients, i.e., without appropriate PPE in place...differently with presumption that the exposure was to Delta.

Typically, it's unmasked patient, surgical mask HCP, no protective eyewear.

I haven't seen or heard any "official" guidance yet.
Thanks
