Hello @jeannettepma5 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I understand you are looking for advice on traveling back home from where you are spending this winter months in order to get the vaccine when you are able to do so.

I will venture to guess that you are not alone in this decision and many others will be facing the same in the coming weeks and months. Weighing the risk is a very individual decision full of many factors. The CDC released the following travel recommendations that you might find helpful:

In addition, I think this is a good example of a question well-suited for your doctor knowing he/she understands your individual health risks most clearly. Have you consulted with your provider? If so, what was the feedback?

I did not ask my doctor. I like science-based answers and his would be an opinion as a Primary Care. Hoping for an ID doctor response.
