Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Chief Medical Advisor to the President, said at a White House briefing Monday that even after people get vaccinated for COVID-19, they should “continue to wear masks” and will likely need to refrain from indoor dining and attending theaters. “There are things, even if you’re vaccinated, that you’re not going to be able to do in society,” he said.

Chris Megerian of the Los Angeles Times asked, “I was interested in your thoughts on the messaging around vaccines. There’s a lot of conversation about how you need to be doing the same things even after you get vaccinated. You know, like wearing a mask, not seeing your family, things like that. You think that’s preventing people from being more enthusiastic in getting vaccines and may we see that change in the future?”
