Getting into Canada just got more complicated.

I think other countries are going to follow suit.

Additionally, if they haven't already, cruise lines should require vaccinations of all on board.

I postponed a river cruise again! Was going to cruise May 2020, then postponed it until May 2021 and just postponed it again. Many venues aren't even open yet. And frankly, I wouldn't even think of traveling before I get vaccinated.

I have an emergency travel I need to do soon. I am waiting until the 2nd shot before I go out of the country.
I will check, but I think even citizens returning to US need proof of negative Covid within 72 hours?
I wonder if they will make vaccination proof mandatory soon at the US Customs & Border check.
It is a non threatening emergency, but I am so reluctant to travel without the full set of Moderna.
I understand even after the 2nd shot max immunity is only achieved 2 wks after 2nd shot. So, seems safe to say I can plan my trip to leave in 6 wks.

It would be the worst situation ever to be out of the country without the immunization.
What if you got stuck for some reason?
Right now its a psycho drama to go to the grocery store. I can't imagine on a plane with an 8 hour flight or more.

The ships foul the air, pollute the seas, and are disease ridden. Don’t allow them to sail before they can prove zero environmental impact.
