Lay Your Card on the Table

The golden ticket

It's July 8th, malihinis, and do you know what time it is?

It's time to bring your vaccination card to Hawaii...and forget about having to take a COVID-19 test.

Safe Travels Special Projects Administrator Sherilyn Kajiwara said Hawaii expects the vaccination exemption will be popular with U.S. travelers as it removes the uncertainty of tests, as well as the challenge to find them and the added costs.

Testing not needed if you have been vaccinated

Kajiwara said as of today any traveler who is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in the United States or U.S. territories will be eligible for the quarantine exception.

Uploading a copy of the vaccination card to the Hawaii government website doesn't work unless the traveler has an actual trip scheduled after July 8th. Hawaii wants the specific airline and flight number, and because your humble blogger wasn't willing to make stuff up he couldn't do the upload.

Time to book the next one, Danno.
