If you're fully vaccinated, the CDC considers it safe to not wear a mask. Fully vaccinated means that it has been two weeks since your second shot. This does not apply if you're going to a high-risk area, or crowded places.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is relaxing nearly all its recommendations for mask-wearing during the pandemic, so long as you’ve got your shots. On Thursday, the agency announced that fully vaccinated people can safely remove their masks indoors in most settings, though it still says they have to keep them on in potentially crowded public spaces, like on mass transit or in hospitals. It’s also no longer telling vaccinated people to wear masks in crowded outdoor settings.

The CDC’s guidelines for fully vaccinated people (meaning it’s been at least two weeks since your last scheduled shot) have been steadily getting more lenient over time. In March, it advised vaccinated folks that they could safely socialize with other vaccinated people and with members of a single household, unvaxxed or not. By April, it released guidelines saying that vaccinated people could unmask outdoors in most scenarios and that unvaccinated people didn’t have to wear masks while exercising. And, as first reported by the Associated Press, the CDC has now announced this afternoon that pretty much all the recommended mask restrictions will be eased for those vaccinated.
