Vaccinated persons with an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID19 are not required to quarantine if they meet all of the following criteria:
Persons who do not meet all 3 of the above criteria should continue to follow current quarantine guidance after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID19.
As an exception to the above guidance, vaccinated inpatients and residents in healthcare settings should continue to quarantine following an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19; outpatients should be cared for using appropriate transmission-based precautions. This exception is due to the unknown vaccine effectiveness in this population, the higher risk of severe disease and death, and challenges with social distancing in healthcare settings.
If the exposed person becomes symptomatic, they should be tested via PCR or antigen test. If they had natural disease recently, meaning they had COVID-19 disease in the last few months, an antigen test within the first 5 to 7 days from symptom onset (depending on the EUA for the test they are using) is preferred. Receiving the vaccine does not affect the results of a PCR or antigen test, only an antibody test.
Vaccinated persons are not required to quarantine regarding travel if they meet all of the following criteria:
Persons who do not meet all 3 of the above criteria should continue to follow current quarantine guidance for travel.

“I’m not sure I will ever be able to repay my gratitude for the people who loved my parents while at Hutch Regional. They didn’t just work to heal their ailments, but truly loved on them. It was remarkable to experience,” said Kent. “These people, the nurses, are the heroes of the hospital. I always believed it about my mom and it is true for your staff as well.”
