Heading to the U.S. To Get a Shot, Prepare to Quarantine When You Return

The Public Health Agency of Canada clarifying rules for Canadians who travel to the U.S. to get vaccinated

In a statement, the agency says those travellers will still have to quarantine when they return to Canada.

A spokesman says while there is an essential medical services exemption that allows Canadians to bypass quarantine rules, it was not intended for use by those who head stateside to get a vaccine.

It is a provision in place for Canadians seeking life saving medical treatment outside of the country

The health agency also notes  "COVID-19 vaccines are widely available in Canada."
