So I want to make sure I understand the regulations as they currently are for us when we travel next summer. My wife and I are fully vaccinated, and she's booked in for her booster today. I'll get my booster in Dec probably when the 6 months since my 2nd jab is up. Neither of our kids are currently vaccinated. My daughter (currently 14, will be 15 when we travel) may have one or two jabs before we travel, depending on what they offer to kids between now and then.
So as it stands, my understanding is:
- We will all need tests showing negative results from no more than 3 days before we travel.
- We will need to provide proof of vaccination and proof of negative test results.
- We will all need to test within 3-5 days of landing in the US.
I have a couple of questions. The test 3 days before we travel...is that a lateral flow test, or a PCR test? Do we need to report the results of our test 3-5 days after landing to anyone?
And then what are the current rules upon return? PCR testing on days 2 & 8?
This is all going to be further complicated by me flying from and returning to Dublin while living in Northern Ireland, isn't it?
I just want a holiday!
