The Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) recently announced that Governor Lou Leon Guerrero and the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) have approved Air V&V, a program that allows tourists to get vaccinated against Covid-19 in Guam and vacation thereafter.

This vaccination tourism campaign provides a faster vaccination rollout for citizens living in the Philippines, with Guam being the nearest and most accessible US territory at just 3.5 hours away. The island has also reported low cases of Covid-19 infections and has fully vaccinated 75 percent of the adult population making the vaccination program safer and more organized. As a result of this progress, Governor Guerrero signed an executive order on June 30 that allows incoming travelers with a negative PCR test result collected within 72 hours of arrival on Guam to be exempt from quarantine, effective at on July 4.
