A relative handful of Americans have received the vaccine to protect against the novel coronavirus. But according to HuffPost, it's unclear if those lucky few can still pass along the virus to others, even if they themselves aren't infected. Likewise, it's important to remember that even after getting the jab, it takes the body at least a month to build up its immunity to COVID-19. Therefore, it's essential to continue following proven public health measures, like universal masking, handwashing, and physical distancing. Experts say Americans shouldn't start to relax on observing these measures until roughly 70% of the population has been vaccinated.

The World Health Organization knows what the single most effective method of controlling an epidemic is: quarantining. It's complete isolation from other people, including those you'd normally live with and breathe around, to the fullest extent possible. In other words, keeping sick people away from every other person until they're not sick anymore and the chain of transmission has been broken. That means not going to work. It means not going to the grocery store. It means not socializing with friends. It means not having people over at your home. Maria Van Kerkhove Technical Lead for COVID-19, WHO But WHO officials say there's not a country in the world facing rising coronavirus cases that is actually practicing effective, systematic quarantining. New confirmed cases are rising particularly quickly in the US, UK, Italy, and Belgium. However, the increase is not limited to those spots.
