UPDATED MASK REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPASS MEDICAL
Effective May 29, 2021, face coverings will continue to be required for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals at all times in Health Care Facilities and Provider Offices. This requirement applies to all Compass Medical patients, employees and visitors.
In line with updated CDC face covering guidance, effective May 29, 2021, the MA DPH/Commonwealth will rescind the current face covering order and has issued a new face covering advisory effective May 29, 2021.
Non-vaccinated individuals are advised to continue wearing face masks and to continue distancing in most settings. The advisory also recommends fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a face covering or social distance indoors or outdoors except for in certain locations.

CDC now recommends that certain people are now eligible to receive any COVID-19 booster shot.
- 65 years and older
- Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings
- Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions
- Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings
For the nearly 15 million people who got the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.
There are now booster recommendations for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States. Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received, and others may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.
