In conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance issued Monday for those who have been vaccinated, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is issuing similar guidance in Kansas. The KDHE said two weeks after Kansans receive their completed COVID-19 vaccination, residents may begin to gather in their private homes with other fully vaccinated people, in small groups, without masks or social distancing. A completed vaccination refers to two dozes of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or a single Johnson & Johnson dose. The guidance also allows for vaccinated people to gather in private homes with unvaccinated people so long as the unvaccinated people are from a single household and are at low risk for developing severe disease.
