I’m sitting at the gate for an Alaska flight to Kona. They are requiring people to sign into the Safe Travels website on a device to pre-clear you and give you a magic bracelet to sail through the airport Hawaii-side. If you OR anyone you’re traveling with (?!) even if you have different Safe Travels accounts, do not have two green checks on your QR code, none of you can get a bracelet. So I’m all green. My travel companion is not. She has vax, I have negative test.This is Kafkaesque.
It really makes no sense to require booster shots as the medical experts have established that the current vaccine has no effect on blocking the Omicon version. It appears that the governor doesn’t understand. Omicron is in remission and Hawaii needs to rethink.
If there was any question before, it’s crystal clear now. Your governor is insane. With omicron-dominated trends falling, UK, Ireland, Denmark, Finland and more and more states are slashing or eliminating crazy rules, and Ige wants to plunge deeper into this lunacy?
You need to cover all scenarios of these booster mandates. If you recently received you second Pfizer shot how are you expected to get a booster shot if travel is scheduled only
2 1/2 months later?? What’s the minimal amount of time after 2nd dose that you must get a booster to be labeled fully vaccinated? People need answers because there’s a lot of $ invested in these trips and cancelling is time sensitive and must be decided asap..
We arrived on Maui on 01/22- met all requirements for COVID vaccination per Hawaii safe travels. Now we read we need a booster- we have appointment on 02/06 at our PCP office when we get home. What do we do in order to eat out on Maui?
You can still visit your property. I spent 4 and a half months in Kauai from October 2020 through February 2021. I was able to return for 2 months in November and December 2021. I’m returning again in March of this year. All I had to do was comply with the State and Country of Kauai’s health and safety laws. As always a good time was had by all. Aloha!
Hi Nani.
You’re an example of a good attitude going a long way to make things work. Thanks for nearly 100 comments.
Aloha.
Aloha E! So sorry you’ve had such a hard time. I’ve been back and forth to Kauai 3 times under the safe travels program without confusion. You might want to ask a younger friend or family member to help you negotiate the app or the airline staff is also very willing to help you before you leave the mainland. Have a wonderful time in paradise!
Goldie C the cdc said natural immunity PLUS vaccines give the best immunity. You “forgot” the vaccines part. Of course this assumes you survive your bout of covid. The dead don’t provide any immunity statistics.
The HI-EMA Covid dashboard no longer shows daily number of tests taken or “positivity” rate.
They still show daily, 7 day average, and 14 days running total “cases”.
As of Jan 23, 55K people tested positive over last 14 days, 400 in hospital, 49 in ICU. They do not breakdown vaxed/booted or not, or whether due to COVID or due to something else but tested positive for COVID. Cumulative fatality rate is 0.6%

Hi CowboyBob.
No word on any changes on Kauai thus far. Our sense is whatever happens, if anything, will be adopted statewide.
Aloha.
