They're saying "by summer" so it doesn't sound like May 19 would constitute "summer"
Based on the most recent article, inter-island may have a vaccine exception in place by May 1 with trans-pacific passengers following a month later. This would put your May 19 date at risk.
Here is the pertinent quote:
“If we do meet our internal deadlines we’re hopeful by May 1 that we’ll be able to do it for intercounty/ interisland travel,” he said. “I’m personally asking if we can possibly do it for Trans-Pacific travel. But it may be that the governor and the mayors first want to do it for residents, which is nice for us, and then a month later come on board for trans-Pacific travel.”
