Hi, my wife and I will have both doses of the vaccine before our planned trip in April. We have a 1.5 year old who will not have the vaccine. Do you know if we will still need to quarantine or if that info will be released in the update next week? Thank you!
Hi Charles.
That will be fine. The current minimum age requirement for testing is 5 years.
Aloha.
I received my 1st dose 12/30/2020 and will not be scheduled for my second dose until 1/27/2021. I will be traveling to the mainland on 1/26/2021 and returning on 2/9/2021. Will I be able to return with just the one shot or should I try for the second dose while on the mainland.
Thanking you in advance.
Hi Dennis.
Good question. The state hasn’t provided any details yet of travel regulations for those who have had 1 or 2 vaccine doses. That should be forthcoming in the next week, hopefully, since it is planned to start early in February.
Aloha.
Second shot – the 27th (which takes an additional 2-3 weeks to gain efficacy)and books a flight one day before then (not having yet completed the vaccination process) and then wants to know if he can get his second shot in Hawaii? Well, I’d say its possible if the people giving them want to come to your hotel where you should be quarantining for the first full week of your visit? Jeez…
Hi BOH,
First off, I want to say how your blogs and writing are well written, thoughtful, fair and allow all viewpoints to be expressed. I have much respect for your writing on your replies to blog comments. All are respectful.
I am a health care worker and am waiting for my lottery pick to be vaccinated – then it will take another 21 days (if Pfizer) to have my 2nd vaccine. No new updates since this original post on if we have to have wait 1 week after our 2nd dose to be able to come and be able to bypass the testing?
I commented on the most recent Kauai post, that I may have a new demanding job coming up in Feb, and wanted to go to Kauai ASAP, even if I have to do testing, but would love to bypass if on 2/1/21, I can.
Warmly,
Helen
Hi Helen.
Thank you. Someone else just asked the same thing. Since Lt. Gov. Green stated that vaccine travel will take effect in early February, we hope to learn in the next week or so just what that means. There was no mention by him of one dose travel. Stay tuned.
Aloha.
So starting February 1
People from the mainland to Honolulu with the covid19 vaccine can avoid the 10 day quarantine
Thank you
Hi Gregory.
We’ll have to wait for that to be official.
Aloha.
Keep me updated if people with the covid19 vaccine be available to avoid the 10 day quarantine
If it starts February 2021
Thank you
How is October 2021 for Hawaii
I hope tourists can go and avoid the 10 day quarantine with the covid19 vaccine
Is there a stop petition or sign up against the covid-19 vaccine???
Any suggestions/recommendations on getting the covid19 testing done with results in time for those that will be flying out on a Monday morning?
or When should they take the test to get the results in time for Monday morning flight to Ohau? Thank you for your time.
Hi Sophan.
Where are you flying from? That’s one part. Also Vault says that you should not use their by-mail tests for Tuesday/Wedesday travel. So that option is good from anywhere in the US.
Aloha.
Hi! Fyling out of Oakland Airport to Oahu on a Monday Morning. Thank you.
Hi Sophan.
In addition to Vault, there is https://norcalcovid19testing.com/. There are probably other options too found by checking here: https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel-partners/.
Aloha.
Nobody can mandate the vaccines without liability (meaning one cannot sue for the injury or the death caused by the vaccines). That’s against our constitution.
42 U.S. Code § 300aa–22 – Standards of responsibility
Nobody is mandating the vaccine. But if you choose to get one, you may be able to avoid some testing requirements in connection with travel.
For me, it’s easy: avoid all the testing hassle by taking the vaccine. Our next trip includes some interisland travel, which requires _two_ tests, one for the Pacific travel and another one for the interisland travel. And if the interisland one is positive, there’s quarantine.
Well for those who are ok with the vaccinations, we welcome the change, but for those who are against it then just do the 72 hour before your final leg in, and hope it comes back in time or you can spend $10,000 to sit in a room all day. I am excited to visit Hawaii and being in healthcare am happy to have had both shots with ZERO side effects
I have a question about the Safe Travels site. It says you have to check in DAILY online. Really? So once you’ve jumped through all the hoops you still have to check in? Not that it would take long but I’d just as soon relax and not have to do yet something else.
That is only if you are ordered to quarantine. There is no requirement to “check in” if you qualify to avoid quarantine or otherwise after you do your 10 days’ Hard Time.
Who do these people think they are to order anyone to do anything? I did not give this government permission to be my boss. This entire covid-19 is nothing more than the NWO turning America into a communistic country and we Americans are not going to stand for it.
“we Americans are not going to stand for it.”
Do you read these comments?
Hello BOH, I read this morning that Kīlauea erupted last night. Do know what the impact on tourism of such eruptions was in the past?
