Supplemental Info:
The updated CDC guidance is summarized below. As will be seen, there are few practical differences between guidance for the "vaccinated" and "unvaccinated" individuals. Even after having received the recommended number of shot(s), you are still required to wear a mask and socially distance yourself.
From the CDC Guidance: - Fully vaccinated travelers are less likely to get & spread COVID-19.
- People who are fully vaccinated with an FDA-authorized vaccine can travel safely within the United States:
- Fully vaccinated travelers do not need to get tested before or after travel unless their destination requires it
- Fully vaccinated travelers do not need to self-quarantine
- Fully vaccinated travelers should still follow CDC’s recommendations for traveling safely including:
- Wear a mask over your nose and mouth
- Stay 6 feet from others and avoid crowds

AlertsUSA Supplement:
Note that to date, there are no "FDA Approved" vaccines for COVID-19. Each is being administered under an "Emergency Use Authorization." - Approval means the FDA has officially decided that a product is safe and effective for its designated use. The process for approval involves rigorous testing and reviews of all available data on the product and can take years to complete.
- Authorization is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies.
At present, unvaccinated individuals are free to fly on all domestic carriers to all domestic destinations. No legislation exists requiring individuals to be vaccinated. This includes members of the U.S. armed forces. The vaccination is voluntary for everyone, including deploying units and high-priority units.
