The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has updated it’s travel guidance for fully vaccinated people that they can now safely travel as it’s deemed ‘low risk’. This means you do not need COVID-19 testing or post-travel self-quarantine for domestic travel. International travel is slightly more complicated with the following recommendation:
- Fully vaccinated people can travel internationally without getting a COVID-19 test before travel unless it is required by the international destination.
- Fully vaccinated people do not need to self-quarantine after returning to the United States, unless required by a state or local jurisdiction.
- Fully vaccinated people must still have a negative COVID-19 test result before they board a flight to the United States and get a COVID-19 test 3 to 5 days after returning from international travel.
- Fully vaccinated people should continue to take COVID-19 precautions while traveling internationally.
To be considered fully vaccinated it must at least be two weeks since the last recommended dose of the vaccine (e.g if it’s a two dose vaccine you need to wait two weeks after the second dose).
