I’m flying to LIH with a layover in HNL on Jul 9th. When completing the safe travels info do I enter info for the first leg, SFO-HNL or the second, HNL-LIH? My flight from HNL-LIH isn’t listed unless I say I’m flying from HNL when actually I’m coming from SFO and HNL is just a layover.
Question, I am going to the big island and have not been vaccinated. How do I get information about testing prior to the trip?
Regarding the AlohaSafe Alert App for Maui. Does that still need to be downloaded before arrival? Mahalo!!!
Hi Michael.
It is still on the Maui Couty website. https://www.mauicounty.gov/2417/Travel-to-Maui-County. Others have commented that it hasn’t been needed.
Aloha.
First dose: Pfizer
Second dose: Moderna
Is this acceptable and considered “fully vaccinated” for Hawaii?
You better consult your doctor. Vaccines aren’t supposed to be mixed. Whoever vaccinated you should have known better.
You have to have 2 doses of the same vaccine to be considered fully vaccinated.
Are you some kind of expert? Perhaps, you could tell us what your qualifications are.
Alan B – According to the CDC, it’s likely safe and effective, but researchers are still gathering data to be sure.
Because the safety and efficacy of a mixed-product series have not been fully evaluated, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends people get two doses of the same vaccine.
Sorry, didn’t mean to trigger you.
This has been evaluated in Canada and is fully acceptable here.
Great news! I hope that they have rental vehicles. I’d like to go back in the fall and be assured of a prepaid vehicle when I arrive.
Great information. I have enjoyed discovering your website and FB posts.
Thank you
Thank you for your information. My family and I will be visiting Kauai in July. Our flight leaves on July 8th. Does this mean we do not need to have a COVID test if we are fully vaccinated?
Beginning July 8, 2021 – travelers vaccinated anywhere in the U.S. will no longer need a pre-travel test to skip quarantine
Thank you Lisa.
This was my question, our flight leaves July 10th. We have the covid testing appt for July 7th…the safe travels site does not let you upload vaccinations from outside of Hawaii, nor does it even mention it. Sure hope things get clarified before July 7th, otherwise we’ll have to take the test anyway. Ugh. Thank you BOH for all your work keeping us updated.
Hi Becky.
That is scheduled to be updated on July 1 for travel starting July 8.
Aloha.
Hello BOH – yes, I tried yesterday, the site has been updated, it did let me get all the way almost to the end but when I tried to select my travel date of July 10th it wouldn’t let me finish. I’m guessing that I can’t upload until July 8th … which means we’ll probably keep the test appointment since I don’t trust things not to change at the last minute. Boy, so many hurdles. Hopefully it all goes smoothly. Thanks again,
Hi Becky.
We were told July 1 is when it should work completely. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
Aloha.
What about those who have had covid and have the antibodies should this not be treated the same as being vaccinated?
Probably. But how would they verify this? Vaccinations can be verified, as well as the rapid Covid testing results. They are not just gonna take your word you have antibodies. You could take a test showing you have antibodies. But at that point, you might aw well just take the test Hawaii is asking for instead of figuring out a way to work around it.
Bravo! This is what my husband and I would LOVE to know!!
If I have recovered from COVID-19, but still test positive for the virus, do I still have to quarantine?
In order to qualify for a COVID-19 exemption to the 10-day quarantine, you must submit the following two pieces of information
A copy of a positive molecular COVID-19 test (NAAT or PCR) from a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory taken no more than 90 days and no less than 11 days prior to your departure date.
A signed letter from a medical provider stating that you have not exhibited symptoms and are fully recovered – this letter must be signed at least 10 days after your positive test and no more than 14 days from your departure date.
