Seems the article may have been updated..... no PCR test required to go into the US, however, AFAIK you need one to get back to Canada..... hang in, that hopefully will be lifted?? Fingers crossed. I'd like to go for a day trip or two.Hopefully, if and when it opens, there will be no requirement for a PCR test. At around $200 a pop and two would be needed if the stay is over 72 hours that makes a quick run down the coast somewhat expensive!
My vintage racing buds were down in California a few weeks back and said there was a marked difference with mask wearing / covid precautions between Oregon / Washington compared to California. They were in Willow Springs and left early and headed back North.

We also need to hear about whether the US will allow mixed dose vaccinations! My wife and I both fall into that hole with a Pfizer / Moderna blend. I need to go skiing in NY and my wife wants a road trip to somewhere warmer over the winter.Seems the article may have been updated..... no PCR test required to go into the US, however, AFAIK you need one to get back to Canada..... hang in, that hopefully will be lifted??

You might check into this. Here in AB, if you intend to travel and have a mixed vaccine, you can get a booster that will put you back onside. There are no age, or other, restrictions. As far as I know, you don't even have to provide proof of travel. At least that is what 2 friends encountered when they got theirs.My wife and I both fall into that hole with a Pfizer / Moderna blend.
That's what we are hoping Ontario will do to eliminate the problem.You might check into this.

Thought Hotel California was just a song? Sadly it has come to pass.Apologies for deleting a thread with some useful comments but sometimes I get frustrated when some comments cross the line and I have to weed through them and use my timefoget things on track.
We can continue the discussion now but my next steps will be deleting inappropriate comments followed by banning a member from this thread.
Just saw on our evening news that the US will accept mixed vaccinations. Now it did not stipulate that it was all mixes or only those of approved vaccines, of which AZ is not. Probably clarification later tonight or tomorrow.Also wonder how they will handle the folks with the AZ/RNA combo; will it qualify as double vax or not?
Great news! One less hurdle removed and one step closer to being able to ski in NY and VT this season.Just saw on our evening news that the US will accept mixed vaccinations.

Update - any vaccine recognized by WHO will be accepted so I think Canadians are good to go.
I think it's coming, it may be a few weeks before everyone gets their ducks in a row and gets aligned. I'm anxious to see cruise companies acknowledge mixed vaccine acceptability to we can start to make plans for our next sailing..............Now if Canada would just follow the American lead and get rid of the testing requirements to return to Canada we'll be back to almost normal..............
But if you come across the southern border, you don't need to be vaccinated at all, right?The American government has announced that effective November 8th, fully vaccinated travelers will be able to enter the USA from other countries, including Canada.
Do you mean the border between Mexico and the USA? That's out of the scope of this discussion.But if you come across the southern border, you don't need to be vaccinated at all, right?
