Miller-Meeks Statement on New CDC Guidance

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, May 13th, 2021, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02) released the following statement after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance saying that fully vaccinated individuals can resume indoor activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing.

“I am pleased to see the CDC and Dr. Walensky following the science and allowing fully vaccinated individuals to go without masks indoors. I would encourage anyone who is not vaccinated to get a vaccine as soon as possible so we can reopen our economy, get our kids fully back in school, and return to normal. Just like I did last month, I am calling on the Speaker and House Attending Physician to rescind the requirement for fully vaccinated Members of Congress to wear masks. Congress needs to set an example of a return to normal and the benefits of getting vaccinated.”
