Do I need to quarantine if I've had the vaccine? If you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and you've been exposed to someone who is sick, the CDC now says you no longer have to quarantine. Fully vaccinated means that at least two weeks have passed since you've received the second dose of a two dose vaccine, or one dose of a single dose vaccine. That said, if you have any symptoms, you should still isolate. Also keep this in mind, we don't know if vaccinated people still spread the disease. So you should also continue to wear a mask in public, physically distance, and avoid large crowds.
