Thanks! I don’t know if we are fully vaccinated in March if we can get vaccinated again to go on our October trip to Kauai. What can we do? Lots of money tied up on our plans. Already paid.

Hi Carolyn.
That’s sure understandable. Much more will be revealed soon.
Aloha.
“Wait for the science” could there be a more stupid comment. The science is already out. Being vaccinated keeps you getting or transmitting. Fortunately the Secretary of State knows what the hell is going on. The good people of Hawaii need to recall Ige
Fred, you are not correct. Per Pfizer, Moderna and the CDC, it is thought that vaccinated people can still contract and spread Covid 19, but would most likely spread it while they are asymptomic. We love Hawaii, but have no plans to take a vaccine of which no one knows what the longterm side effects might be. So, the money we spend on our regular trips Maui and Kaua- I’m talking in excess of $25 grand each trip, will be spend elsewhere for the foreseeable future.
That is what I thought too…up until yesterday when the CDC released their new guidance regarding vaccinated people not having to quarantine. I have to say I am utterly confused and lost some faith in the CDC. Additional explanation would have helped to make this guidance credible.
Can’t say I blame you and certanley your choice not to take vaccine. There are some wonderful places in the US including Sarasota, Naples as well as Playa De Carmen in Mexico.
Bottomline though, I have been to many of these places and none of them are quite like our beloved Maui. Headed there again April and we too spend over $25k per year there. Was supposed to go last month and had a false positive test. Never contacted or had any symptoms
Good Luck to you wherever you go, I am sure you will have fun.
I see no mention of Orange County flights.
United to Honolulu. Leaves pretty early so would make an easy connection.
Please Hawaii change the 3 month restriction. We just got vaccinated in advance of our June 1st flight! Now what?! We revaccinate? Hopefully this will change.
You’re misunderstanding the 3 month limit. That’s for avoiding testing after testing positive for Covid.
The vaccine does not affect this. You still have to either take the test or have had Covid within 90 days.
Correction… the vaccine is apparently like having tested positive. After 90 days, you have to pass the test again.
i have been vaccinated against covid. can i fly without a covid test????
No.
Now that the CDC says fully vaccinated people are no longer required to quarantine if exposed to positive covid person, do you think this will that affect the vaccine passport project approval/roll out ?
Thanks,
Gail
Hi Gail.
Yes, we saw that as well, but have no idea what the governor will decide. He said he is averse to any changes thus far.
Aloha.
Ige doesn’t know what he will decide half the time until the morning he wakes up.
I don’t think he ever wakes up. Look at his eyes, like a deer in the headlights.
CDC guidelines already confirms safe travel after vaccine.
Couple of suggestions:
Currently SW leaves OAK at 5PM for HNL. Since you can’t get a test after 5PM, you must wait till the next day for a test IF you can get an appointment. And you must get your result BEFORE you depart!
Lotsa luck!
Please
1) expand the window to 96 hours, this gives travelers and extra day.
2) Quarantine on arrival but release if you get negative result late
3) if vaccinated allow an at home test.
Please note, in all my suggestions- you have been tested.
Please help me understand how travel restrictions affect children. Children are not being vaccinated, and children under 5 cannot have a covid19 test. How would a trip to Kauii look for them? Thankyou.
Hi Donna.
At present those under 5 years of age have no requirements. Starting at 5, they must adhere to the testing rules.
Aloha.
I am traveling to Kauai with a layover in Honolulu. Kauai does not require a covid test from a “trusted”partner. Since I have a 3 hour layover in Honolulu do I need to abide by the travel rules for Hawaii in terms of covid test?
Thanks!
Hi Joy.
The only time Kauai doesn’t require a trusted partner test is if you are going into a resort bubble. But you will still require some test within 72 hours prior to departure for (in your case) Honolulu. Since you are staying at the airport and just connecting, the test for Kauai should be all you need. Please confirm that with the state. Call the Safe Travels Hawaii Program Service Desk toll-free at 1-855-599-0888 between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time.
Aloha.
Anybody that thinks it is normal, or acceptable, to have to show papers to travel freely in the US needs to just get out.
What an utter disappointment a large number of people have become.
Agreed, some of us have willingly given up our rights and become sheeple. Rights given up are not freely given back by the government. Also, let us remember that Hawaii is one of the United States, not a foreign country.
Right On!
