The CDC have quietly removed the banner saying they are reviewing the travel advice from their website to reflect the updated guidelines stating vaccinated and unvaccinated should follow the same guidance i.e. there's no difference, so at the moment even that glimmer of hope looks to have been extinguished.

Is there any time limit on how long vaccine certificates are valid to enter USA? My most recent (third) shot was in January and I plan to fly to USA in October. Will I need to get number 4 before I go?

It was just announced that Novak Djokovic will miss the U.S. Open for sure, so there seems little hope of an update to the rules in September yet.

Because CDC guidance no longer distinguishes between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, which makes the vaccine requirement not just illogical and unscientific, but also incongruent.

Furthermore, some airlines continue to keep online check-in disabled for inbound international flights due to the attestation form, even if the form no longer applies to citizens or permanent residents. I don't see these airlines enabling OLCI again until that requirement is dropped.

Just to confirm, all US citizens flying back to the US internationally back to the US do not require any covid test right?
I got an email that said Jetblue no longer requires a negative covid test but says they must complete contact tracing in advance. What exactly is contact tracing?

Thanks. So you would do that on your phone when at check in on your phone if you haven't? So you would have to move to the side and get to the back of the line again? Or they let you just do it there?
How do you know if you already done this?

I am not sure how they will handle the paperwork if you check in at the counter. I suggest you do OLCI and drop your bags.

What is the attestation form? Usually I just wait in line and check in and the person there does everything. So most likely I can just do the same then? I do recall you need to print the boarding pass at one of the machines first before you get in line right?

The attestation form is a remnant from when tests were required. It is now used mostly to indicate vaccination status for non-US citizens. However, it still technically shows up in the Jetblue check-in for US Citizens and permanent residents as well, but it is nothing of importance, as there are no vaccination or testing requirements for citizens and LPRs.
I am not sure how they will handle the check in paperwork if you check in in person. They will probably have a way. But it may be easier to check in online and then get a paper boarding pass there when you drop your bags.
