Is this the future of Hawaii travel? Back in the news again today.

According to the AP, White House press secretary Jen Psaki says “there will be no federal vaccinations database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential.”
Many states, including mine, say they will not get involved in vaccine “passports”.
If there is no national database and many states won’t get involved, this whole issue is moot.
I’ve never understood how it would work, anyway, when the only information on my vaccine card was the date and lot numbers of my 2 shots. No name or any other identifying information.
Ed C.,
It isn’t moot in Hawaii! The Governor is forcing it on everyone that comes to Hawaii. Tell me…..You had 2 shots, do you think it is right to require you to test before flying to Hawaii? If so, then what was the purpose of getting the shots? Don’t they work? You tell me!
Hospitalizations… 2 weeks to keep hospitals from over flowing…..
March 2020
Flash forward to 2021…… yup, a large portion of y’all have been duped.
Watching Hawaii chase its tail is entertaining…
By July, cases will most likely be so low, and US cases will be so low, that a passport for Hawaii will just be a waste of gov’t time and money.
If everyone that wants a vaccine gets one. And nearly all of the high risk people get one. And if the vaccine prevents people from ending up really sick more in the hospital. And the rest are willing to accept the risk or are young and healthy enough to probably not feel much, where is the benefit associated with travel mandates and passports in Hawaii?
Ige and many of these State Governors simply don’t want to give up their newly found Emergency Proclomation power. One governor even stated, in a briefing, that he would like to end emergency orders, but if he does his State would no longer qualify for Federal Emergency funds.
Follow the money trail. How much does anyone think the State and Counties are getting reimbursed for the vaccine distribution? ( Maybe $38 million?) Equipment, salaries, locations.. All can be upcharged a bit here and a bit there. In Maui they do alot of vaccinations at Maui Comm. College. With the campus basically closed, how cheap SHOULD it be for a once in a lifetime pandemic? What do you all think counties reimbursement is?
Also, concerning vaccines for the once in a lifetime pandemic… Why hasn’t Phizer and Moderna adopted J & J’s secret sauce recipe for the single dose vaccine? Sure would make herd immunity that much easier…. $$$$$$$%, thats why.
Keep telling yourselves the govt is telling truth. In the meantime, French govt officials are dining maskless in fancy restaurants while normal citizens are locked down and restaurants are closed.
Many thanks for the vaccination passport update. The possibilities of fraudulent acts have been mentioned everywhere. Maybe a way to tie the validity of a passport to the person presenting it could be achieved by using matching fingerprints as verification. Another way could be a scan of the passport presented in conjunction with the scanning of a driver’s license to be sure that certain identifications match. There are ways to confirm validity — let’s make it happen.

Hi Geo.
Thanks for your input on the possibility of fraud with vaccinations.
Aloha.
yes, by all means. lets give them access and control to more of our data.
I can kinda understand waiting till July for the passport. They’ve pushed it this long, at least after July 4 there aren’t any major holidays for a bit. I’m just happy Kauai has finally rejoined the program. I Just got my first vaccine dose today, husband is fully vaccinated, our rebooked trip isn’t till August. I’m guessing we’ll still have to test our 3 kids, but hoping with us being vaccinated it will cut down 1/2 the stress. Hope all continues to go well.
Thank you again for all your up to date info!
Hi Lynde.
Thanks for this and your more than 50 other comments. We’re glad you can return to Kauai this summer.
Aloha.
So is age 16 and up for the covid19 vaccine starting Monday April 19 down from May 1 in Honolulu Hawaii oahu.
Thank you
Thanks BOH for this great travel and now medical blog but is it possible that those giving medical advice list their educational degrees and schools attended and years of study and experience so we readers can distinguish who has a medical degree and who gets knowledge of covid from a YouTube channel.
Hi Tim.
Thanks for the input on this and other issues.
Aloha.
So now we may have to give up our rights with a vac passport to travel to Hawaii!?! No thank you. Driver licenses, social security cards etc have always been forged. We’re going to punish everyone because of a few derelicts? Get vaccinated was bad enough, but giving up my rights will never happen
Wow! Lot of posts! Been a tough year for everyone and lots of different perspectives. I vote we all realize
everyone is coming from a different perspective and the simple fact is we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel
and everyone is reacting in their own way..,
Get the vaccine if you are comfortable and if you are not, it is what is. Flying is an incredibly safe form of travel, but there are still
some people that are afraid of flying.
Just be aware a lot of false info is being spread..
Aloha to all and this will be a thing of the past……soon.
Hi John.
Thanks very much. Your still going strong after nearly 200 comments.
Aloha.
Aloha,
The White House today ruled out imposing a national vaccine passport of any kind. I would suggest that state and local government initiatives to do so can only fail.
Mahalo,
