Canada relaxed its travel restrictions on September 7, 2021, to allow fully vaccinated international travelers to come into the country for tourism purposes, including Americans. Though it’s a sign of progress, the country is still on a mission to increase the vaccination rate and limit the spread of COVID-19.
According to the Government of Canada, as of September 3, more than 76 percent of eligible people in Canada are fully vaccinated, and more than 83 percent have had their first shot. However, more than 5 million eligible people in Canada are still unvaccinated.
