Vaccinated travelers won’t need a test to visit The Bahamas
In a major move for the wider Caribbean tourism industry, The Bahamas has announced plans to become the region’s first island destination to waive testing requirements for fully vaccinated travelers.
Simply put, if you are fully vaccinated, you won’t have to get tested before you travel to The Bahamas.
Beginning May 1, international visitors who are fully vaccinated (and have passed the two-week immunity period after the relevant jab) will be exempt from testing requirements for entry and inter-island travel.
Vaccinated travelers will still have to apply for The Bahamas Travel Health Visa, and will have to upload proof of vaccination with their application.
They will not, however, need to provide a negative PCR test prior to entry or submit to rapid-testing mandates during their stay in The Bahamas.
Unvaccinated travelers will still have to comply with all of the country’s pre-testing and testing requirements, including applying for The Bahamas Travel Health Visa, proof of a negative test taken no more than five days prior to arrival, and rapid antigen testing if they’re staying in The Bahamas for longer than four nights and five days.
All travelers will still have to complete the daily email health questionnaire while in the country, along with adhering to The Bahamas’ health and safety protocols like mask-wearing, social distancing and frequent hand washing.
It’s a strong message from one of the Caribbean’s leading destinations, and hopefully will lead other destinations in the region to follow suit.
And it’s an example of the country’s smart, phased and successful approach to its tourism reopening, one that first began last summer.
Only one other Caribbean destination has a similar entry protocol, Belize, which also waived testing for fully vaccinated travelers.

The rest of the Caribbean can suck eggs
Where does the CDC issued vaccinated won’t get infected?
stop being smart ... go get vaccinated
The CDC has a miserable record of honestly & ethics since it happens to be manipulated by unscrupulous individuals seeking power & money. If anyone in that place actually cares about humans they are under inordinate pressure to keep mum whilst the machine grinds on, sucking unthinking individuals into its wake as it goes.
There is SO MUCH honest information out nowadays there is no excuse not to go looking for TRUTH.
Start at Mercola.com & see if you think what is said there is not TRUE.
Hence they have ensured that they have no liability for the thousands of deaths & injuries from these vaccines.
Nor are they interested in the SHEDDING of the spike proteins that will come from all those 'golden vaccinated' individuals they are now encouraging to travel the earth. The natural process for turning off the spike proteins is lacking & was never addressed. The failure of the process to switch off is the main cause of the injuries that are occurring by the thousands & will result in massive illness when the vaccinated are exposed to new Covid varients. Not that your TV news would ever tell you that. They encourage you post photos of your plasters 24 hours after the jab, as if that is all you need concern ourselves with. The immune system has delays of months & years before results can be seen. Hence it can be nothing other than TRIAL vaccine for years to come.
Stay away from vaccinated tourists, they will be easy to spot-they will still be obediently wearing the dirty rages over their faces.
FYI Mercola.com & https://childrenshealthdefense.org/ contain straight truth.
NB Bill Gates used to sell computers. Now he is selling vaccines (rather than supplying clean water) & buying more land than any human would ever need. Why?
