So you are saying a person has to be vaccinated within the 3 month period to travel over there. If I get the vaccine this month and I travel there in October, I have to get another vaccine? With the shortages of the vaccine, how is this going to be possible to do? How would getting vaccinated a few times this year affect one’s health?
The 3 month window makes it a non starter for me. I will be fully vaccinated in 2 weeks. My trip is scheduled for October. Who knows if we will be able to get a second round of complete vaccinations. We have been to Kauai at least once a year for the last 19 years. I think it’s time to go somewhere else.
😎Had our second vaccination a week ago, which means we could travel within 3 months of that shot. Well our reservations are not till july 3rd. Hopefully they will have this sorted out by then, if not….. 🥺
So what is needed to travel after 3 months from vaccination date? A booster?
Will such be available?
How do you plan a summer trip? Or Fall, or next Holiday season? Hoping for “Herd Immunity”?
Still not very smart.
If on the other hand, the guidelines stated “travel within the time limits approved by CDC”, then the risk might be more reasonable as the CD goes public with their recommendations faster than our leadership reacts. It would be 3 months now. But as data on effectiveness becomes more available it could expand.
Just saying….
Insane, but Hawaii has gone off the deep end. Oh well there are other Pacific destinations.
they are saying you can only travel within 3 months of getting the vaccine, what if you got it in February and want to travel in October? You cannot come to Hawaii?
Thank you for the vaccination travel update. It appears only thing different forthese travelers is no test to come over and no quarantine if exposed. Over the weekend it was reported 4 people in Oregon who were all past their 2 weeks after receiving their final shot contracted Covid. How’s that going to work if HI still has concerns?
Hi Kym.
Thanks. Yes, lots of details to still get figured out.
Aloha.
Hawaii is ridiculous. Not everyone can take vaccines. In fact this vaccine has not been recommended to certain people due to other medical conditions. If I have to have a vaccine to travel to Hawaii then I may NEVER travel to Hawaii again. I own 3 properties in Hawaii, one on Kauai and two on the Big Island. Once again, the idiots running the state are shooting themselves in the foot but they don’t care.
Hi. So will the option to provide negative Covid testing still be an option? My trip is in May and I’m not sure if we’ll meet the vaccine requirements. Thanks
Hi Keidra.
Yes, that’s what the Lt. Gov. has stated multiple times.
Aloha.
So, I’m scheduled to visit Kauai on July 28. We are getting vaccinated in mid-March and then 4 weeks later. The vaccinations won’t count…what?!
Anyway, mahalo for the latest update.
Hi Gary.
Lots more will be revealed before your Kauai summer vacation. The CDC 90-day guidance, issued last week, relates only to COVID exposure and not to travel specifically. But it offers an indication that CDC is saying that vaccine validity can only be assured for 3 months. How that will directly relate to travel is still to be announced. Also, the state currently has an exemption from Safe Travels requirements for those who have recovered from COVID. There too, it is exclusively for those who have recovered within the past 90 days. When there is more information indicating validity beyond 90 days (hopefully), then that should change.
