I’ve vacationed in the islands many times, but I won’t see Hawaii again, if proof of vaccination is required. I refuse the vaccine. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Without proof of vaccination “papers” we will be subject to all kinds of restrictions. The era of the deep state is here. It has knocked on the door, criminals let it in and now it is trying to control us and take away our freedoms!! Stop watching mainstream media! Wake up America!
We won’t miss you in Hawaii. Being anti-science will kill you! Do you wear a mask? My father had COVID the week of Thanksgiving and almost died. Does your family love you? Don’t be selfish!! This isn’t a political issue but a health issue. The facts are that the vaccine was being researched for 10 years as a treatment for SARS (remember SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola?) and was tweaked for COVID. It’s safe for 99% of the general population.
You too have fallen victim to 1984.
Sad!
Kinda reminds one of the old black and white movies where you had to ‘show your papers’ everywhere you went. Gives me the creeps.
I agree….its over
We’re already to visit in February, after finally finding an approved Covid testing site that will get results to us on timely basis. This was hard enough to guarantee we get to visit after planning for one year. Now we might have to get the vaccine when they’ve just reached the 1A group for the covid vaccine. Does Hawai’i not want visitor’s, because it seems they’re making it harder & harder. I hope not.
You will soon be microchipped like a dog. All info, medical and otherwise will be in that scannable chip. No paper card to get lost
Aloha Linda
Question…. where did you go to get your covid testing and did it cost money? I will be going to Maui on February 2. My daughter lives there. I’m running into all kinds of problems finding testing and the results within 72 hrs of travel. I’m flying out of Chicago to Seattle to Maui. CVS can’t guarantee results within 72hrs. I’m going to see what Walgreens says. Also was your test free or did you have to pay out of pocket. I’m told insurance won’t cover it because it’s for travel. The test could be several hundred dollars up front. Also which test is acceptable? Rapids to…. so many hurdles to go. Can you please give me advice? Thank you!

I responded to your question but forgot to mention, the only way I know it’s FREE is through Kaiser Permanente but you have to take test & then ask for reimbursement from Kaiser.
Again, hope you get to Hawai’i.
It mentioned in the article the vaccine will Not be required
Hello Yvonne,
When you read the “test won’t be required” I believe the person was talking specifically about residents on the “islands”.
The entire article is talking about REQUIRED Covid-19 Vaccine for those person traveling to the Hawaiian Islands, making it more difficult for people to visit since vaccine stages aren’t providing vaccines to just anyone at this moment in time. Plus, some people don’t want to take the vaccine.
Finally! Proof of vaccination will be enough. The current card is issued by the CDC (not DOD) and has the dates, vaccine type and serial number as well as the place of vaccination. It’s a little large to fit in a wallet but folded it’s OK. I can’t believe how many people came to our clinic for the second shot and said “I lost my card”. Really?? Keep it. It’s like gold. Treat it as such and don’t lose it.
I’m wondering how the vaccine passport will work for kids under 18, when they aren’t offering the vaccine to kids.
So if I am not going to get the vaccine-for various existing health reasons- do I now have to say good bye to visiting the islands? Or will a negative test result be acceptable. It seems to me that within the last few years do much of the information we have been given is inaccurate initially or partially true etc.
I guess we will be waiting for herd immunity-if ever any official agency would agree to a standard definition. So sad today – we would have been walking the beach at Kitchens and enjoying a hot tub at Kauai Beach Resort – maybe next year.
I do not know why we need papers to travel within the United States.
What do you call a Driver’s License then? Besides, unless even that “paper” is Gold Star Compliant, effective October 1, 2021, that won’t get you on an airplane either!
Made reservations today from Phoenix to Lihue, directly.
Will have both doses of vaccine before travel date. There is NO way we will be quarantined for any amount of days.
Hawaii: get your act together! And do it SOON.
Beginning to think the $$$$$ we spend to stay a month can be easily applied to a different state with beaches!!
Doesn’t mean he won’t shut things down again…. Just hope your not in the middle of a vacation so it’s ruined a d costly.
So if we don’t get the vaccine we won’t have the freedom to travel? This is ridiculous 🙄 I’m hoping they still allow a negative test result for those that wish not to get the vaccine.
Aloha Erica,
At this point they will be allowing travel to Hawaii without a vaccine, but with test in hand; however, who know how long that will be. The good thing (and the current reality) is that Hawaii can’t afford to risk the loss of capitol (at this point, at least) that would incur, if they insist people have to take the covid vaccine to visit the islands.
I’m told fake vaccination cards are already available for purchase in the US, and good quality fake negative test results have been available for months now. Without use of a single central US Gov’t database to scan and verify, people waving either their Vaccination Cards or their Negative Test results still won’t mean too much in most places. As Hawaii uses testing partners, they likely have the best chance of catching any of those fake negative tests, but sadly I’m told that for $495 you can buy a neg test result that will get you on a plane to about anyplace else globally.
Yes, fake vaccination cards will be a problem. And also apps like Commonpass. Do we really want the government and corporations know our health records? What is next? A chip in the arm? Please do not misunderstand me, I am not an anti-vaccine person. I get the flu vaccines annually and my child is fully vaccinated. I also take the virus very seriously. But I do not want to live in a world where there is no privacy left. I grew up in a country where the government had a file on every citizen. That is not a way of life. This is not only going to be a Hawaii travel issue, but a much broader one.
This is also my concern, Niki S. Do not like the direction we are heading, possibly using COVID as an excuse to roll out these programs.
So the vaccination is free. And it protects you. Why get a Fake? Get the Vaccination. What You can’t handle a sore arm for 24 hours? That’s it. For most people (and we vaccinate 500 a day) only a sore arm. A little more sore for the second shot.
The same COVIDIOTS who refuse a vaccine because they don’t “know what’s in it” are just too happy to order food from fast food restaurant where nobody knows what’s inside the food, or eat a hot dog made with the worse parts of an animal (yes, I’ve seen what goes into a hot dog).
And take a chance on long term side effects?
And lose the right to freedom of choice on what to do with our bodies??!!
No thanks. This vaccine may not be the magic bullet you think it is…but not my right to tell You what to do either.
Agreed!
Thank you Roger, for your information and sensible remarks!
