Kokua Line: New Hawaii interisland travel form also asks whether passenger got a flu shot

Question: I looked at that interisland travel form because I thought maybe we could do a little holoholo and have a nice getaway and spend a little money. Financially, we are doing fine through all this — we are fortunate — and would like to help Hawaii businesses. But the form had a “surprise” question for me. It asks whether you got the flu shot! I didn’t. Will that keep me off the plane?

Answer: No. Although most questions on Hawaii’s new traveler health form focus on the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the form also asks whether the prospective passenger has received a flu vaccine in the last year, and, if yes, when and in what country. That information is sought in the interest of public health and answering “no” won’t keep you off the plane, said Janice Okubo, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Health.
