Should I Get Tested for COVID-19 Before Traveling to the US?

Are you planning to travel to the United States by air? If so, you must be fully vaccinated with the primary series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine. To find out more about this requirement, please visit COVID-19 Vaccination Proof Requirement for Air Passengers. If you want to get vaccinated after arriving in the United States, you can visit Vaccines.gov or call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY) at 888-720-748 to find a branch near you. Additionally, it is recommended that you sign up for up-to-date safety and security information and to help the US contact you in the event of an emergency abroad.

It is also important to make two copies of all your travel documents in case of emergency and leave one to a trusted friend or family member. International travel presents additional risks, and even fully vaccinated travelers could be at greater risk of contracting and possibly spreading some variants of COVID-19.
