Even with those recommendations the CDC continues to recommend not traveling unless it is essential. Regardless, the CDC strongly recommends people continue to wear a face mask, practice social distancing and sanitize their hands.\\nMeanwhile, COVID-19 vaccine research is continuing in teenagers. "The early data show equal safety in young people aged 12 to 16," says Dr. Gregory Poland, an infectious diseases expert and head of Mayo Clinic\'s Vaccine Research Group. "I think this is going to imply that, somewhere between this fall and Christmas, we\'re going to be able to offer the (COVID-19) vaccine to every age group."\\nIn this Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Poland answers a number of listener questions, including how long the COVID-19 vaccines are predicted to last and if the current transmission research still supports wiping down household items. Dr. Poland also explains why someone who has had COVID-19 should still get a COVID-19 vaccine.\\nAskMayoExpert COVID-19 Resources: https://askmayoexpert.mayoclinic.org/navigator/COVID-19\\nConnect with the Mayo Clinic\\u2019s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.'
