[我们做得到!] COVID-19 宣传教育活动：

四种方法助你度过一个快乐、安全的假期

进入 COVID-19 大流行的第二个圣诞假期，我们都渴望着重新与亲朋好友团聚，并回归让人珍视的传统假期。如下简单步骤可让家人和朋友在其秋冬庆祝活动中保持健康。

当男女老少汇聚一堂进行庆祝时，避免向祖父母、幼儿及其他易受感染人群传播 COVID-19 的最佳方法，就是确保所有符合条件的人都接种 COVID-19 疫苗。5-11岁儿童为最近获得接种 COVID-19 疫苗资格的群体。

现在，所有 18 岁及以上成年人都可接种加强针。接种第二剂辉瑞 (Pfizer) 或莫德納 (Moderna) 疫苗至少六个月后，或接种单剂强生 (Johnson & Johnson) 疫苗两个月后，可接种加强针剂。由于加强针剂无需与之前接种的疫苗相同，因此您可选择上述三种 COVID 疫苗中的任何一种作为加强针剂接种。

与 COVID-19 疫苗的初始剂一样，所有美国居住人员都可免费接种加强针剂。无论是否预约，都可随时接种加强针剂，且无需出示保险或身份证明。了解更多，请访问 www.cdc.gov/coronavirus。 

除接种疫苗和/或加强针剂外，人们还可采取下述措施，以确保安全享受最近可能错过的与家人、朋友在一起的时光及进行特定的联系会面，即使是来自本国不同家庭和不同地区的人们团聚。

评估旅行计划。请考虑推迟旅行，直到接种全剂疫苗。乘坐飞机、公共汽车、火车和其他公共交通工具时，请切记须正确佩戴口罩。如您未接种疫苗，请做好计划，在美国境内旅行前 1 - 3 天并在返回后 3 - 5 天进行核酸检测。即使检测结果为阴性，也须进行为期 7 天的自我隔离。如您自驾旅行，请注意您和旅伴在加油、吃饭和上厕所时也有可能接触病毒。请切记佩戴口罩并勤于洗手，并在相关场所保持社交距离。如您需出国旅行，且旅行目的地疫苗接种率低且 COVID-19 正在传播，请访问美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 的网站，以获取国际旅行的建议。

进行检测。如您与 COVID-19 患者有过密切接触，或在假期前感觉不适，特别是有COVID-19症状，请进行检测。在大部分药店和医生诊所都可进行检测。进行检测可获得安全感，并知晓不会感染您的朋友和亲戚，从而保证人人都可享受轻松假期。如有任何疑虑，请考虑参加虚拟的庆祝活动，保持安全的同时，也能够其乐融融! 

注意通风。和家人共同庆祝时，请尽量避开拥挤、通风不畅的地方。请考虑将庆祝活动移至户外，尤其是计划大型聚会时。去享受野餐或烤棉花糖的乐趣吧！ 如参加室内家庭活动，有些客人可能未接种疫苗，请一定正确佩戴口罩，遮住口鼻。请切忌为 2 岁以下儿童戴口罩。美国疾病控制与预防中心还建议，在公共室内环境中务必佩戴口罩，无论是否接种疫苗。

考虑健康状况。如您或家人有健康问题，或有人正在服用削弱免疫系统的药物，请务必采取额外的预防措施，即使您已完全接种疫苗。美国疾病控制与预防中心建议，免疫系统薄弱人员需遵循类似未接种疫苗人员的预防指南，比如戴口罩和保持社交距离等。

寒假是与我们所关爱的人们重聚、庆祝的时刻。有很多途径可让今年的庆祝活动值得纪念。遵循该安全措施可让你们聚在一起，并享受传统乐趣，从而使该节日与众不同。各项安全要求是重中之重，确保乐享假期的最佳途径就是接种疫苗。

We Can Do This COVID-19 Public Education Campaign:

Four Ways to Have a Festive and Safe Holiday Season

Entering the second holiday season of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all eager to reconnect with family and friends and return to treasured holiday traditions. Some simple steps can keep family and friends healthy through their fall and winter celebrations.

As generations gather to celebrate, the best way to avoid spreading COVID-19, including to grandparents, young children, and others who may be vulnerable, is to make sure everyone who is eligible gets vaccinated against COVID-19. Children 5-11 are the most recent group eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. 

Booster shots are also now available to all vaccinated adults 18 and older. Get your booster at least six months after your second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two months after your single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. You may choose any of these three COVID vaccines to receive as your booster, since your booster shot doesn’t have to be the same vaccine you received before. 

Like the initial dose(s) of the COVID-19 vaccine, boosters are free to everyone living in the U.S. They are readily available both by appointments and walk-in visits, and no insurance or identification is required to receive your booster shot. Learn more at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus. 

In addition to getting vaccinated and/or boosted, people can take these steps to ensure they safely enjoy family, friends, and special connections they may have missed recently, even as people from different households and different parts of the country gather. 

Assess travel plans. Consider delaying travel until you’re fully vaccinated. Remember, masks that cover your nose and mouth are required for everyone on planes, buses, trains, and other public transportation. If you’re unvaccinated, plan to get tested one to three days before your trip within the United States and three to five days after you return. Plan to self-quarantine for seven days, even if the test is negative. If you travel by car, be aware that you and your travel companions could be exposed to the virus on stops for gas, food, and bathroom breaks. Remember to wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and maintain social distancing at these locations. If travelling internationally, especially to locations where vaccination rates are low and COVID-19 is spreading, visit the CDC’s website for recommendations on international travel.

Get tested. If you’ve been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19, or if you’re not feeling well before the holidays, especially if you have COVID-19 symptoms, get tested. Tests are widely available at pharmacies and doctors’ offices. Getting tested can provide security, knowing that you won’t infect your friends and relatives, and everyone can enjoy a stress-free holiday. If in doubt, consider joining festivities virtually and enjoy the fun, while staying safe! 

Pay attention to ventilation. When celebrating with your families, try to avoid crowded, poorly ventilated spaces. Consider moving celebrations outdoors, especially if you are planning a large get-together. Have a cookout or roast marshmallows! If you attend family festivities indoors where some guests may not be vaccinated, wear a well-fitting mask over your nose and mouth, remembering that you should never put a mask on a child under the age of 2. The CDC also recommends mask wearing in public indoor settings regardless of vaccination status. 

Consider your health status. If you or someone in your household has a health condition or someone is taking medications that weaken the immune system, you should take extra precautions, even if you are fully vaccinated. The CDC recommends that those with weakened immune systems follow similar guidelines for unvaccinated people, like mask wearing and social distancing. 

The winter holidays are a time to reconnect and celebrate with people we care about. There are many ways to make this year’s festivities a time to remember. Following these safety measures can allow you to gather together and practice traditions that make the holidays so special. Safe practices are key and the most effective way to ensure a joyful holiday is to get vaccinated.
