What the CDC Says

The CDC guidance notes that the risk of travel is low for fully vaccinated people, but they do not recommend it due to the increasing number of cases in various destinations, especially outside the United States.

When traveling within US territory, people do not need to be tested for COVID-19 beforehand or self-quarantine upon returning to their hometown. But if they make an international trip, tests must be carried out if the destination requires it and present a negative test to board a plane to the US and a follow-up test between three and five days after returning to the country although they do not require quarantine.
