20% of Vax-Hesitant Canadians Would Lie About Shot to Travel

The 2021 Smart Traveller Survey, conducted by the Travel Health Insurance Association of Canada (THIA), found that 14 per cent of Canadians are not interested in getting the vaccine, and among those, about 20 per cent would lie about it if vaccines were a requirement for travel or entry into large events. Will McAleer, THIA’s executive director and spokesperson, said the number of people willing to lie about their vaccine history is somewhat expected given the amount of people already caught faking documentation to travel during the pandemic. The survey also found that 31 per cent of unvaccinated Canadians would get a COVID-19 vaccine if it were required for international travel. The survey was conducted in JUN 2021 and polled 1,500 Canadians across the country, ranging from ages 18 to 60+.
