It looks like the state of Hawaii will not be requiring a booster shot to be considered as fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The idea was floated for weeks by Hawaiian officials, but has abandoned it.
USA Today reported:
Want to visit Hawaii without taking a COVID test or quarantining? Flash your COVID-19 vaccination card. And, no, you won't have to be boosted to be considered fully vaccinated.
The state, which has had the most strict entry program in the country since reopening in October 2020, decided against adding a booster requirement, Gov. David Ige said Tuesday.
Ige had repeatedly said the idea was on the table, going so far as to tell at least one mayor the target date to implement the program was Feb. 18 and have officials start tweaking the website where travelers upload vaccination information.
