Hawaii has not at this time required visitors get a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot to be considered “fully vaccinated” but is considering such a requirement, a state official said on Wednesday.

“Hawaii is not requiring booster shots as part of the state’s Safe Travels program. However, that requirement is under consideration. Stay tuned,” Brooks Baehr, administrative assistant for COVID-19 and pandemic response for the Hawaii Department of Health, told The Epoch Times in an email.
