The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its guidance on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the 2021 holiday season.

Published on Friday, the recommendations focus on  encouraging people to get vaccinated before they gather with family and friends.

Health officials also urge Americans to wear masks in indoor spaces and to avoid travel unless they are fully immunized.

It comes about a week after the agency removed holiday guidance from its page, saying it was outdated and had been uploaded in error with new recommendations expected soon.
