Wearing mask when fully vaccinated for COVID-19 an ‘additional measure of protection’: Former FDA commissioner

Former U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday where he spoke about whether those vaccinated for COVID-19 should continue to wear a mask. “If you want to add an additional measure of protection if you’re in a high prevalence environment, a mask can still be helpful against this new variant,” said Gottlieb, adding wearing a mask could help protect against the highly-transmissible Delta variant of the coronavirus.
