Maui exempting fully vaccinated travelers from post-arrival COVID test, with proper documents
By Nina Wu May 21, 2021
Maui County is reminding travelers that they must provide documentation of their COVID-19 vaccination to be exempted from the post-arrival testing requirement.
On May 4, Maui County began requiring all trans-Pacific travelers participating in the Safe Travels program to take an additional rapid COVID test upon arrival at Kahului Airport.
There is, however, an exception for fully vaccinated trans-Pacific travelers with proof of vaccination. A traveler is considered fully vaccinated after at least 14 days have passed since receiving both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Travelers must provide an original Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccination card or a certificate of vaccination downloaded from the CDC’s Vaccine Administration Management System. No photocopies or photos of certificates will be accepted.
“We remind trans-Pacific travelers that they need to provide proper documentation to be exempted from the post-arrival test,” Mayor Michael Victorino said in a news release. “We need an original CDC vaccination card or a certificate of vaccination from the CDC. We are not accepting copies or photos of vaccination cards.”
