philippines Going to Philippines, I’m confused what to do. Any advice are highly appreciated. COVID related. We are travelling with our 1 year old

[xkomunikado 1]

We are departing to PI in the next two weeks. We book a ticket via CheapOair and really no specific instructions what to prepare for Border Entry. We are not vaccinated and not planning to unless it’s a very serious matter. (Please I’m not inviting a political debate) 

There is a post in twitter saying that from other country, before you enter back to the US, you are required to get vaccinated. This person from teitter is highly respectable and travels a lot. She calims its effective until Jan 2023. We will be in the Philippines for 9 weeks and will be back to US early February 2023. 
as far as the airlines, we have connecting flight to Japan and not sure what documents the airlines and Japan needed prior to COVID concerns. 
 

I have not been home for swhile and travelling with a toddler ina long haul flight will not be easy. 
Do I need a PCR test a week or 3days before departure? Where to get it?
sorry to ask here but I am so confused eith different answers from the airlines ams google.

Why not go on cdc.gov and see what it says? It’s very clear that covid shots requirement does NOT apply to USCs, LPRs now or in the future. 
 

The Jan 2023 date is when CDC will stop requiring proof of covid shots for tourists and other covered visa categories.

US Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents are not required to be vaccinated for COVID.  An uninformed airline agent might ask to see proof of vaccination (I doubt it these days, but you never know), but you don't have to show them anything, it is not required.  If they insist, ask to speak with a supervisor.

 

COVID tests are no longer required to enter the U.S., as of June 2022.
