Gov. Ige authorizes vaccine passport program for inter-island travelers

HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - In his 20th emergency proclamation, Gov. David Ige authorized the vaccine passport program for inter-island travelers, which will start on Tuesday.

The program will allow inter-island travelers to bypass quarantine and testing if they show proof they received their COVID vaccine in Hawaii at least two weeks before travel.

Travelers will be able to upload their travel information and vaccination data on the state’s Safe Travels platform, which launched online Friday.
