Are people living with high-risk people considered high risk?
A. No, with the exception of caretakers of children under 6 months, since kids under 6 months are too young to be vaccinated. Other high-risk people (i.e. those with chronic heart or lung disease) can be vaccinated, so their household contacts are not considered high risk. Persons living with high-risk individuals (individuals that cannot be vaccinated) should themselves be vaccinated to reduce the risk of infection.
