(CNN) — US travel restrictions instituted in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic by states have been eliminated. However, the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention suggests delaying travel until you are up to date with your Covid vaccines.
If you do decide to travel to another US state or territory, you should still check out the latest guidance before you go, even if you're fully vaccinated.
Their official websites have important Covid-19 safety information you still need to know. This list is alphabetical and includes links to state websites to help you get started:
