    Kansas will follow new federal guidance that people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will no longer need to wear masks or socially distance, with some exceptions.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the new guidelines Thursday.

    Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said the state will adopt the policy, effective immediately.

    The CDC said fully vaccinated people can stop wearing masks in outdoors in crowds and indoors, except in crowded settings like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters.

    Kelly announced Wednesday the state will offer the Pfizer vaccine to children 12 and older, after the CDC approved the change.
