Hmm, I think I can envisage how thats going to go:Yes. but we-will need an approved Covid 19 test to return home! Wondering if airlines themselves in major hubs abroad will set up shop to make trans-atlantic flight easier.
Sorry I forgot to add the URL for spain specific.I have edited to include that page. There is also links on the left side one to locate clinics for testing ...did not try it myselfWhat I read mostly referred to travel within the US.
Yes. but we-will need an approved Covid 19 test to return home! Wondering if airlines themselves in major hubs abroad will set up Covid test locations in airports inorder to make return trans-atlantic flight easier.
I just heard on local SoCal news fully vaccinated will not have to quarantine upon returning home.
Yes I was reading this on the CDC website yesterday. Still must test within 3 days of flight to US arrival. Recommendation of test repeat after being at home 3-5 days.Don’t know if posted already but thought I would share this :

CDC Relaxes Covid-19 Travel Guidance for Fully Vaccinated People
People who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus can travel without putting themselves at serious risk as long as they wear masks and take other precautions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday, moderating its blanket stance against travel. The shift comes as new studiwww.wsj.com

2nd edit to include Spain specific
Just so, Marbe2. It is confusing and I suppose in a couple of months when there are more people vaccinated that it will have changed another three times. Antigen or PCR??? For the moment, as close as I can figure, CDC means check with the foreign country you are entering (e.g., Spain) for their current requirements, and what the airline says when one is flying out and then returning home. Maybe CDC figures the airlines know more than they do what is mandated in the US!Thank you for this link. I am a bit confused. The above seems to suggest that the Quick antigen testing is not acceptable to the airlines, but CDC appears to be saying that it is??
Am I misunderstanding this? Or, has The CDC newest guidelines now changed and would this quick antigen test be acceptable for those US vaccinated citizens returning totheUSA?
I would hope this test would be-acceptable because when I read the caveats regarding when the PCR test would be-ready... I lack confidence that we would actually receive results in a timely fashion. And of course, receiving results on the expected date is critical to boarding one’s flight home.
PRC results Caveat....
The result in 24 hours is an estimated period that may vary depending on the volume of tests in the hospital / center and the non-working days.
Me too!!!Another problem, right now there is something I read about the vaccine certifications only lasting 6 months...which means that by the time some of us who have now been vaccinated can travel to Spain, our immunity period may be expired.
Example: I received my second shot of Pfizer ( which btw is 100 percent affective against the S.African Virus) in the second week of March. Six months of immunity only brings me to mid September. If I have a Sep. Camino planned then I will need a booster...and fat chance of getting one by then. What I hope for is that Pfizer will determine that immunity will last a bit longer....
I have had similar thoughts, and I remember @trecile was chuckling on some other thread that she was now happy to be getting her vaccine later, presumably closer to the date of possible travel.Another problem, right now there is something I read about the vaccine certifications only lasting 6 months...which means that by the time some of us who have now been vaccinated can travel to Spain, our immunity period may be expired.
I am thinking the same thing. I was lucky to get my 2nd Pfizer jab at the beginning of February (that's 'cos I'm old!) so will I be due for a booster by mid summer?Another problem, right now there is something I read about the vaccine certifications only lasting 6 months...which means that by the time some of us who have now been vaccinated can travel to Spain, our immunity period may be expired.

That is what I, too, am hoping!I have had similar thoughts, and I remember @trecile was chuckling on some other thread that she was now happy to be getting her vaccine later, presumably closer to the date of possible travel.
I think that some of the uncertainty stems from the fact that they don’t have data about how long the immunity lasts because people didn’t start getting it till such a short time ago. I am sure they are conducting more trials with their vaccinated groups, though the first one was based on data only three months after vaccination. I think, though I may be wrong, that it’s not so much a thought that immunity won’t last that long as it is a lack of knowledge about how long it lasts, given how long it’s been around.
I hesitate to reply because I am NOT an expert on this issue. But, I did read the following yesterday when I posted.Thank you for this link. I am a bit confused. The above seems to suggest that the Quick antigen testing is not acceptable to the airlines, but CDC appears to be saying that it is??

Actually, there is recent data from Pfizer indicating that the Vaccine was still 90 percent plus effective after 6 months! However,there is no data about other vaccines. A vaccine passport could manage the data and distinguish different requirements.
It will be become clearer at some, hopefully sooner rather than later!
