New covid testing requirements before arriving

[Bnewb]

Planning my trip for May... are the antigen test easy to get in town or should I wait to go to the airport before my flight back to the US? The price is still $50? 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???

Deanna...you can do either or... I Doc at the Boardwalk Shopping Village (plaza) is very accessible.
Getting it done at the airport is also super easy...but personally I'd get it done here in Negril because I'd want to quarantine here (if positive) not in Montego Bay.

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.

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

What are the requirements for entering Jamaica if we are fully vaccinated ? We hope to be coming in June but pending shoulder surgery may force us to wait until December.

The vaccine is making no changes in the requirements at the present time. From the Visitjamaica.com website:
