What should I do before my vaccination appointment?
If you’re not yet vaccinated, you should continue to:
Wear a mask when inside public places.
Keep at least 6 feet part from people who don’t live with you and who may not be vaccinated.
Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol when soap and water are not available.
Vaccinated and unvaccinated people must still follow federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial laws, rules, and regulations. That includes public transportation, airport/airplane, local business, and workplace guidance.
