So I've heard that people with vitiligo should go inside every half an hour if they are laying in the sun. I know the sun is bad for vitiligo but with summer almost here should I get out of the sun very half hour?

Enjoy the sun, I recommend using a sun screen with a high SPF.
In my opinion, the only trouble with going in the sun is the area around the white will darken, bringing a strong contrast with the areas of your skin that do not tan.
Any white spots will probably turn pinkish for a day or so if you are in the sun all day, at least they do with me.
Anyway, I do not think you should get out of the sun every half hour as long as you have on sun screen.
