Masks and social distancing may still be needed for people with compromised immunity
After months of mask mandates, many Americans are breathing a sigh of relief with news that federal and Washington state officials are dropping most face mask requirements for fully vaccinated people, both indoors and out.
It’s a move that makes the end of social distancing feel closer, except for some.
Emerging research has shown while vaccines are safe and proven effective for the general public, some people with immune deficiencies may not generate as much protection from the COVID-19 vaccines.
Dr. Josh Hill, a vaccine and infectious disease researcher at Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center in Seattle and doctor with University of Washington Medicine, said that impacts likely thousands of people living in Washington state who will need to keep their guard up as social protections are dropped.
