Canada will open its borders to fully vaccinated Americans on Aug. 9

Canada will allow fully vaccinated Americans to enter the country in just three weeks, authorities said Monday.

U.S. citizens who have been vaccinated for at least 14 days and meet other entry requirements may cross the northern border starting at 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 9, the Public Health Agency of Canada said.

Travelers will need to have had a full series of a vaccine that is accepted by the Canadian government, which are the Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson shots.

“We’re moving forward and safely easing some border measures that have been in place throughout the pandemic — thanks to the hard work of Canadians, rising Covid-19 vaccination rates, and declining Covid-19 case numbers,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.

U.S. children under 12 who are not vaccinated will also be allowed to enter as long as they are accompanied by a “fully vaccinated parent, step-parent, guardian or tutor,” the health department said.

Travelers from the rest of the world will also be eligible to enter Canada starting Sept. 7, “provided that Canada’s Covid-19 epidemiology remains favourable,” the health agency statement said.

The statement warned that borders could close again at any moment if conditions take a turn for the worst.

  1. Not even my local Food Lion can define how you demonstrate that you have been vaccinated and don’t need a mask. What do these geniuses propose, show your needle scar?
