You asked:

We are trying to figure out when we can bring a healthcare worker that was exposed back to work. Is a healthcare worker considered up to date if they are fully vaccinated but not boosted? It has only been three months since this worker had their second vaccine dose, so they are not eligible yet to have their booster dose. 

We answered: 

Yes, this healthcare worker would be considered up to date and able to return to work without restrictions according to the CDC Interim Guidance for Managing Healthcare Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure to SARS-CoV-2. If this same employee does not get a booster dose, and it is after the time period recommended by CDC to receive a booster dose, then they would no longer be considered up to date.
