Once I get the vaccine, can I stop wearing a mask?

Masks still may be required in certain settings, regardless of vaccination status. Please respect the rules of the venue. Masks also are strongly recommended when cases and hospitalization are high in the community. Voluntary masking remains a good option for reducing the spread of illness. 

There is a lot of great information out there on masking, including from the Washington State Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention, the Department of Labor and Industries, and Governor Jay Inslee. We encourage you to check out those resources.
