This is an excellent question. I watch everything that Dr. Greg Poland says and follows his advice but I also love to have things in writing so I take notes!

The first thing that you need to do is to wait for about 2 weeks for the vaccine to really kick in and be effective. During this time you need to keep protecting yourself as if you hadn't been vaccinated. Maintain distance, wash your hands wear masks, and keep any socializing to a minimum and outdoors if possible. It is still possible to give COVID-19 to others and to get it yourself.

After your two weeks are up here are helpful dos and don'ts

I plan to only socialize with family at first. Who will you visit with?

All those CDC guidance are a little bit of CYA, because they don't know yet for sure, and don't trust the pretty clear information obtained from Israel, because it was not generated in the US.
The precautions are mostly because they don't know yet if fully vaccinated persons can still carry the virus and pass it on to other people. The Israeli data indicates that this seems not to be the case.

@merpreb All that is sound advice.Ive been isolated for over a year now but am glad I did it as I never got covid I'd rather be save then sorry.My son is stringent in the cdc guidelines as well After his wife gets vaccinated we will see each other.Thank goodness for zoom.
