“We have actually articulated that people who are fully vaccinated and who are wearing masks can travel,” said Director Walensky.
“Given where we are with disease transmission right now, we would say that people need to take their own — these risks into their own consideration as they think about traveling,” Walensky said during a White House Covid briefing Tuesday. “First and foremost, if you are unvaccinated, we would recommend not traveling.”

The drop in vaccine effectiveness is being blamed on the Delta variant.
And what about natural immunity?
