Isolation Guidance:
Stay home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you test positive and/or have symptoms including fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, etc.
You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours:
Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
You have not had a fever (not using fever-reducing medication).
Vaccination Guidance:
Although federal guidelines are shifting, professional organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) continue to offer recommendations based on a large and growing body of research and data regarding the safety and benefits of COVID vaccinations.
Children: AAP recommends all children get vaccinated.
Pregnant: ACOG continues to recommend individuals receive the vaccine at any point during pregnancy, when planning to become pregnant, in the postpartum period, or while lactating.
Adults: AAFP still recommends that all adults 18 years and older receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
