However, as per CDC guidance, fully vaccinated students exposed to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 are not required to quarantine if they:
- Have received the last dose of the vaccine series (i.e., the second dose in a two-dose series or one dose in a single-dose vaccine) at least two weeks prior to exposure
- Have received the last dose within three months prior to exposure
- Remain asymptomatic from the last exposure
