The federal health body in a fresh set of guidelines said that kids who are fully vaccinated can skip wearing face masks or practice social distancing indoors or outside. The revised guidelines come as summer camps start to open in parts of the country. Earlier this month, CDC said that it has relaxed the face mask rules for people who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. According to a report by AP, about 2.5 million of the roughly 17 million US kids have gotten at least one shot. A second dose is required, three weeks after the first, and then it takes two more weeks before the vaccine fully takes effect.
