U.S.-imposed vaccine mandate continues to block unvaccinated truck drivers from crossing the Canada-U.S. border
Despite the formal public health emergency in the U.S. scheduled to end May 11th, the vaccine mandate remains tightly in place at the 49th parallel. Some industry leaders are fighting for the mandate to end, stipulating that the vaccine mandate has already been voted to end for foreign air travelers. Some claim that truckers seem to be shouldering the burden of the greater public health risk than the rest of society, some citing the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protesters that converged on the city of Ottawa in early 2022.
Despite Canada and the United States’ regulations changing, the World Health Organization still identifies Covid-19 as a public health emergency of international concern.
