ooops... never mind I just read all the below threads
I was able to get ours for November with our health dept. But it took 5 days but is free. If we go through urgent care to order the rapid test we also have to pay a dr fee of $120 each. But we can get it within a few minutes. So our April trip is costing at least $350 for covid test both ways with the 72 hours. So now Im searching for a rapid test that doesn't require a dr visit.
Celinda if you are flying out of Ohare they do the tests there at the airport for $120
Oh geeze a Dr. fee is crazy! I’m in White Plains New York and a rapid antigen test one of our local walk in clinic cost $100... I think to enter back into the US a PCR test is needed? I’m not sure how much I have to pay for that when I’m in Negril. On the brighter side though airfare is significantly cheaper?Quote:

Thanks but we Fly out of Southbend. We used to drive to Ohare but with a park and fly or just the 2 hour drive. The extra cost is worth it.Quote:

All sounds so crazy to me I’ve recovered from Covid and I will be vaccinated by the time I arrive in May... with so many vaccinations being done I wonder if vaccination proof Will be required for travel???
My husband and I were fully vaccinated when we came 2 weeks ago. Still had to be tested. I think it will eventually be waived. It might be an incentive to get more people vaccinated.
Deanna...you can do either or... I Doc at the Boardwalk Shopping Village (plaza) is very accessible.Quote:

I’m hoping so too! Traveling was one of my main incentives to get vaccinated!Quote:
