Canadian snowbirds are hoping that the U.S. will ease travel restrictions preventing them from driving south this winter. Those who aren’t waiting are fine with flying to the U.S. instead, as many are planning to get a booster shot once there, said Toronto travel insurance broker Martin Firestone. "People who are heading south are going to go get that booster down in the States, I can assure you of that,” he said. On 17SEP the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejected the idea of a third shot for Americans aged 16 or older but did endorse a plan to make boosters available to people aged 65 or older, or at high risk of severe illness. According to Flinstone, many with U.S. travel plans simply don't want to wait for the Canadian government to offer booster shots. 21SEP is the latest deadline for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to declare whether it plans to ease the restrictions on non-essential travel over the Canada-U.S. land border, or extend the prohibition for another 30 days.
