Canadians: 65+ are getting vaccines now

Good morning All:

With us 65+ now being vaccinated in Quebec, I find the Federal rules for land border return extremely, um, confusing in Canada. Have any Canadian returned from Florida and other southern snowbirding States, and if so, what were your experiences driving back, and what quarantine procedures were you instructed to follow upon arrival at land border crossings??

I realize that some Canadians snowbirding in Florida had gotten at least 1 vaccine shot. If any vaccinated Canadians returning by road to Canada, what were your quarantine instructions at the CBSA ?

I'm hearing that returning AIR travelers are of course required to register with a Federally-approved quarantine hotel, and obtain PCR 72 hours before arrival; however, the rules for returning-by-road Canadians are as clear as mud.

Moisheh (an over-the-land hauler): I assume that you had gotten your 1st jab long ago? Just about everyone in Quebec 70+ has had their vaccine by now.

Silver. My wife and I received a Moderna shot 3 days ago. I had side effects but worth the discomfort. Unfortunately we received no paperwork. Manitoba is thinking about some sort of card but that could take years. Governments are so useless.

That's true Biden has shots for Mexico also plus the US has teamed up with others to provide billions for the poor of the world. It is wonderful to have a president in the US again.

How many Canadians in his party took the Covid test?

Where did your brother take the test; most would go to the labs of a local public county Health Department and Clinic, not a private medical business or hospital like Doctors Care.

As stated, $400 US. That would be 5 something Cdn.
I don't know where he had it done, aside from some place in Eugene. I would assume he looked up and found the nearest facility that offered the test. I should ask him.
Is there a difference in where you get tested?

One in his party, he is traveling alone aside from his dog.

I believe only flying home Canadians are being penalized and detained.

Not so good in BC. I am in the 75 plus group and am not eligible for another week. Hopefully the pace will pick up as we seem to be getting more supply now, including the generous loan of one and a half million from the USA

Glad to hear shots are going in senior Canadians! California has had 65 and plus seniors eligible since January. The AstraZeneca shots we are loaning you and Mexico should help too.
