Mayo Clinic Q&A: Vacation travel vaccines for teens and more COVID-19 news

If youre fully vaccinated for COVID-19 you can travel domestically and where travel is allowed internationally according to new interim travel guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Even with those recommendations the CDC continues to recommend not traveling unless it is essential. Regardless the CDC strongly recommends people continue to wear a face mask practice social distancing and sanitize their hands. Meanwhile COVID-19 vaccine research is continuing in teenagers. "The early data show equal safety in young people age 12 to 16" says Dr. Gregory Poland an infectious diseases expert and head of Mayo Clinics Vaccine Research Group. "I think this is going to imply that somewhere between this fall and Christmas were going to be able to offer the (COVID-19) vaccine to every age group." (Published 04/07/2021)
