Target and Other Stores That Have Ended Mask Requirements for Fully Vaccinated Customers

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter

Following last week's updated mask guidelines for those who are fully vaccinated, a number of stores and other retail operations have ended mask requirements for fully vaccinated customers.

Per USA Today, the retail chains listed below will no longer require fully vaccinated customers to wear masks indoors. Much like the CDC’s new guidelines, these stores will be relying on an honor system for mask use for those who are not yet fully vaccinated.

(NOTE: The CDC still advises mask use in crowded indoor areas like hospitals, planes, buses, homeless shelters and prisons.)
