Starting tomorrow, July 8, 2021, domestic travelers coming to Hawaii may enter the state and bypass COVID-19 testing and quarantine upon arrival if they have a CDC-issued vaccination pass to authenticate they have been fully vaccinated.

  1. This was announced at a press conference that just concluded at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
  2. The state confirmed that Hawaiiโ€™s efforts are not being done in coordination with federal authority guidelines.
  3. Travelers vaccinated in the US or its territories may participate in the program starting on the 15th day after second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Travelers vaccinated in the U.S. or U.S. Territories may participate in the exception program starting on the 15th day after their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine โ€” or starting the 15th day after theyโ€™ve received a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

When asked by eTurboNews, it was made clear that vaccination passes are not accepted by foreign authorities.

Hawaii-bound travelers will need to upload one of three vaccination documents to a Safe Travels Hawaii account they set up, prior to traveling to the islands. One of the following documents must be uploaded:

  • A CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card.
  • VAMS (Vaccination Administration Management System) printout.
  • DOD DD Form 2766C.

The Safe Travels digital platform will ask for an online legal attestations on its website to confirm the uploaded documentation is true and accurate.
