  1. Already have a trip scheduled for Honolulu in mid April, but we may have to reschedule if my husband doesn’t get his 2 doses of the vaccine. I’m a nurse so I’ve received my first dose and in 2 weeks my second dose. It’s hard to even get an appointment for a vaccine here in Kentucky if you aren’t a healthcare worker or an elderly person. Hopefully with more vaccines coming out, the process of getting an appointment will become easier.

  2. Thanks BOH for your continued updates on vaccination policy. My question is how do I return as a Hawaii resident without a smart phone? I cannot loade the safe travel ap on my iPad.

    1. Hi David.

      If you are traveling with anyone who has a smartphone and can add the app, that will take care of it. Otherwise, we’d suggest you contact the state to inquire at 1-800-GOHAWAII.

      Aloha.

  3. Wow! This points out the question if the vaccines are really effective? Hmmm! Thanks for your continued coverage of this perplexing issue. I say – prove it’s safe and effective before getting jabbed. I’m not afraid of getting the shot I’m afraid of what’s in it! If it is effective why do we need boosters? What are the long term effects? If it is safe why are the drug companies exempt from liability or accountability? Smells like a big profit scheme – especially with yearly boosters. Too many questions thus far…………. Ask questions – find out the truth. I sure don’t know. Mahalo for listening. Concerns of a ‘grounded Nomad’.

  4. Mahalo for the timely update BOH. We have our first COVID vaccine shot scheduled for mid-March and should have our 2nd vaccine around 2 weeks prior to our planned trip to Maui (late April). Hoping for the best but prepared to cancel IF we have to (also planning a 2-day stay in the Bay Area of Calif) upon our return.

  5. Aloha,
    “ While the current vaccines will prevent illness”…
    I don’t think you want to be making that claim…

  6. We are in Maui right now. We arrived on January 14. We had a covid test the day before traveling on Alaska airlines at a Carbon Health tent at the airport. We had results within an hour. When we flew out, Alaska gave us each a pre screening bracelet which allowed us to skip the lines upon arrival at Kahului. It was smooth and easy and our vacation has been wonderful! Sad to say it is ending in just a few more days!

  7. The chance of an Outlier who is Vaccinated but still a carrier is possible…. but THAT can be said for any person who’s been vaccinated for a known BAD Virus, even bad ones like Measles, etc. It’s a very slim chance! Far far less, than all the other NON-Vaccinated passengers or visitors…

    That’s like saying, we should check to make sure everyone has full immunity to many many other viruses that we’ve been inoculated for, over the years…

    BUT…. as we’ve learned, these things take time to cross the political barrier. SO, we’ll wait.. 😉

  8. Thank you for the information. I hears that there were 2 new resort bubble resorts added to the existing 6 on Kauai. Do you have that information? I can’t seem to find it! Thanks you

  9. Thank you for the very valuable and informative article. Perhaps Kaua’i can give some guidance to States on the mainland, as there is ZERO direction from the federal or state level on how the vaccine will be distributed, where, when, and to whom. For now we are all just staying home, wondering what the next step will be in resolving this pandemic and when the vaccine will be rolled out for the general population. Truly a sad state of affairs in this country.
