There are a lot of questions from people about what happens after they are vaccinated against COVID-19, especially with the slow rollout of doses.  Putnam County Health officials say if you are identified as a close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, you still need to quarantine.  Even though the vaccine is proving effective at keeping someone from becoming ill, scientists do not yet know if a vaccinated person can spread COVID-19 while asymptomatic.  If the CDC updates guidance regarding quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated individuals, Putnam County Department of Health will share that information.
