Is it possible to travel outside my state if I don’t have the vaccine shot yet?

Your chances are slim, very slim. Airlines are eager for travelers to be able to avoid quarantine at their destination and for the elimination of blanket travel bans between countries, which will, consequently, help spur air travel’s recovery. Now airlines are also beginning to test digital “health passports” that could reliably prove someone’s negative test results and eventually their vaccination status.
They are also able to offer users updated lists of health requirements and alerts for destinations around the world.
Several African countries already require vaccinations for yellow fever, for instance, so there’s precedent. So I do think that some places will require it, specifically. And if they don’t require it, they’re going to require things like quarantine. There have been baby steps taken along this path, however. In January, Iceland became one of the first countries to provide vaccine certificates to its citizens to help them avoid certain border restrictions. It will also recognize the vaccine passports from other countries, allowing visitors to skip COVID-19 testing or quarantine rules if they show proof of full COVID-19 inoculation. Sweden and Denmark are also working on similar vaccine passports.
