SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) -- The CDC announced Thursday it is safe for fully vaccinated people to stop wearing masks in most indoor and outdoor settings.
Now, shoppers who are fully vaccinated can shop without masks at a handful of stores.
Trader Joe’s was reportedly the first major retailer to drop its indoor mask requirement for fully vaccinated shoppers.
Other major retailers are now following suit.
Fully vaccinated means it has been two weeks since a person received the second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Below is a list of stores who have updated their face mask guidance.
The list will be updated.
Target
On May 17, the retailer changed its guidance to allow fully vaccinated customers and its staff to go without the face mask.
"Target no longer requires fully vaccinated guests and team members to wear face coverings in our stores, except where it’s required by local ordinances," Target said.
The masks are still "strongly recommended" for people in the stores who are not fully vaccinated.
Walmart/Sam's Club
Vaccinated customers and members can shop without a mask.
"Beginning today, vaccinated customers and members are welcome to shop without a mask, and we will continue to request that non-vaccinated customers and members wear face coverings in our stores and clubs."
Beginning May 18, fully vaccinated associates will not need to wear a mask at work.
