Guam is offering COVID-19 vaccinations to American expats in Japan and other Asian countries, where vaccine rollouts are lagging behind the U.S. and most developed nations.
But if they are expecting a relaxing vacation that comes with vaccination, they may be disappointed. Travelers to the Pacific island, which has travel alerts in place and a rising number of coronavirus cases, will face challenges including quarantine protocols.
Launched earlier this month, the vaccination program ¡ª called ¡°Air V&V,¡± using the initials of vaccination and vacation ¡ª aims to encourage Americans in Asia who may not have the same access to vaccines as those back home to visit Guam to get their COVID-19 shots.
