- A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last recommended dose of vaccine.
- For domestic travel within the US, fully vaccinated people:
- Can travel within the United States and do not need COVID-19 testing or post-travel self-quarantine as long as they continue to take COVID-19 precautions while traveling 鈥 wearing a mask, avoiding crowds, socially distancing, and washing hands frequently.
- For international travel, fully vaccinated people:
- Can travel internationally without getting a COVID-19 test before travel unless it is required by the international destination.
- Do not need to self-quarantine after returning to the United States, unless required by a state or local jurisdiction.
- 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.
- Should continue to take COVID-19 precautions while traveling internationally.
