“We currently have a public health issue that nuances the message,” he continued, adding that Americans should still “avoid [travel] if it is not necessary, “even after being vaccinated.

“It’s short term. All we are trying to do is overcome this upsurge of business,” Osterholm said.
“The future looks bright, especially this summer,” he added.
Osterholm said during a separate appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that when people are vaccinated, it’s like buying a refractory suit that works 95 percent of the time.
“I think the message was consistent, although it may have confused the public,” he added.
His comments come after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a new guideline on Friday that people who have been fully vaccinated can travel safely.
About one-third of American adults have so far received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
However, health officials have warned that there may be an increase in cases again, as many places have relaxed restrictions on public life and businesses after a large increase in cases during the winter.
