Okay…let me get this straight…our esteemed Governor is going to consider thinking about the possibility that the ‘science’ will be a solution to let folks travel to his state and breathe life into the dying economy that he’s been charged with?. He’s really getting on this quickly…We’ve only been shut down for a full year and an entire island (Kauai) has been devastated to the tune of countless businesses and locals future prospects, never mind any property owners that are completely upside down because of his inept governance. Now, we’ve come up with the decision that even if you’ve been vaccinated you are also in the penalty box if it’s been more than ninety days after the second vaccination. So, if you can get all the stars to lined up right and can only vacation within the 90 days after the second vaccination yet two weeks after that vaccination, you can visit without quarantine…seriously? This is the solution?..you can continually come up with roadblocks if you never want tourism to return. Few people will go through such hurdles and simply go elsewhere. Remember, vacation is not a necessity, and it should be a happy experience, not a head banging effort. Isn’t that the whole point of going on vacation..to relax and be happy leaving their stressful existence behind for a bit?
I have been to the Caribbean several times during this plandemic…..It truly is beautiful and the locals LOVE my dollars! No more ALOHA for me!
Oh man, while I know you are simply relaying information I find this incredibly sad and discouraging. Here I was so excited as we had just received our second vaccines last week and we were looking forward to summer travel. I’m just not ok with booking with so much up in the air and some of these crazy rules with Hawaii that appear to be ever changing. It is with a heavy heart I will be booking elsewhere this summer. I fear this really is going to drive this beautiful yet travel dependent state into the ground. Thanks as always for the info.
Hi Laura.
Feeling the same way here. Many of us who live in Hawaii and would like to finally visit family on the mainland. With vaccinations coming right up, we hope it will work. Fingers crossed with you.
Aloha.
When you say “Vaccinations are valid for 3 months” does this mean that if your 2nd dose of a vaccine was taken on May 1, then you can only travel until August 1 without any testing? Does this mean that you would have to get vaccinated every 3 months in order to travel to Hawaii at any time? Please expand on this.
Hi Tommy.
This is initial information based on the two things we mentioned – last week’s CDC guidance, and the State of Hawaii’s current 90-day testing requirement waiver based on having had COVID. We are awaiting clarification.
Aloha.
I think we will see you again in about 5 years when you can figure it out. The world has a lot of options and Hawaii isn’t worth the effort. Some day you may realize how much you crippled your state.
Trust me, those of us who have the ability to think for ourselves already know how screwed up Hawaii is. The sheep and “Hawaii til I die” members will claim everything is great, but it’s not..
Food lines, closed businesses, behind on mortgage payments, etc. Hawaii is living off free money, hoping to hide the fact the economic doom will come.
Hawaii’s only solution this whole time was to hope for a vaccine. There never was a plan or consideration that maybe, just maybe, we live with the virus, accept the consequences an get on with life. After all, remember when this was about the hospitals? We were never even close to over running the system. Just imagine if we were still a year or two away from a vaccine!!
You people realize that you’re destroying the backbone of your economy, right? If this nonsense keeps up, you will be out of business for at least a decade, by which time people will have changed their travel destinations permanently. Probably the worst mismanagement of all time.
agreed!
Hi BOH Bros
Since I’m relatively new to BOH today on youtube I viewed Hawaiian Islands | A Film by Thomas A. Edison Shot in 1906. Looks as if it was posted on youtube a little over 3 years ago, but is trending on other travel sites.
Wondering if you’ve seen it?
As per the subject at hand travel as we knew it before covid is never going to be the same. Covid is never going away it will be no different then flu or pneumonia, but instead of seasonal covid will be a year round thing.
By now if you’re not planning your travel around new covid norm’s then shame on you. The only person to blame for screwing up your trip is you.
Thank god for these early vaccines given us 90 days of protection, in the coming years new treatments and vaccines will come out giving us longer protection and better survival rates.
Until then be patient and make sure to book travel that can be 100 percent refunded.
Hi Richard.
Thanks for sharing that. We’ll definitely check it out. We appreciate your well over 100 comments!
Aloha.
Again, a huge mahalo to Beat of Hawaii for the updates on the complete insane double talk from the “Leaders” of the State of Hawaii.
On a day that had reports from the CDC stating that people who receive the vaccine may still be able to pass the virus to others, I’m completely baffled by these happenings.
I am so thankful for you guys and your dedication to keep others informed.
You truly epitomize selflessness and courage in reporting.
Stay blessed.
Much Aloha🌺
Hi Pam.
Thank you so much! It is hard to keep on top of this, and we appreciate you being apart of that process.
Aloha.
Just not a good thing
I’m so confused! We are planning a late-April trip. The “Vaccination Rules” for mainlanders are scheduled to begin May 1st? So if we’re fully vaccinated within 2 weeks of our arrival date, we STILL need to show a Negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of departure from California?
Mahalo!
Hi Steven.
While we will need guidance from the state to confirm that, it appears to be the case. Stay tuned for more information.
Aloha.
Basically what they will be doing with this 3 month rule is encouraging people who want to travel to put off getting vaccinated until shortly before their trip. Wow….talk about discouraging people to vaccinate now so we can get this mess behind us! No one has made the statement that the vaccine is only good for 3 months, so where is this time frame coming from? Has there ever been a vaccine that you could be given more than once a year? To me this is just another way for the governor to say they have opened up the state while still drastically limiting the number of tourists who can come there without quarantining. In my book, getting this virus under control as soon as possible means getting folks vaccinated as soon as possible. That is way more important than trying to appease Gov Ige.
Sheryl B…
Actually, the CDC HAS said that they know the vaccine is good for three months. Most likely it will prove to be a longer time frame but at this point, that is all they feel they can guarantee. And I agree with you 1000%. Our state has a “registration” system and I’ve been “registered” and anxiously waiting since December. So now I have to hope they ignore me until May so our travel will be within three months! In the meantime I remain vulnerable! LOGIC????
Wow
This is the first I have heard that the vaccine is good for only 3 months!
So how many times should a person be able to get vaccinated? How much vaccine can a body take?
There aren’t enough vaccines for everyone to get two shots/ as required.
So for every trip within 3 months a person must get vaccinated…
Crazy’
AMEN!
