Sputnik V

[canuck78]

Recent news - all foreign vaccines not authorized in Canada will need to be done 3 times, so 3 doses of Sputnik and you're good to go lol

My question is.. I personally don't believe in this Sputnik thing and I have living examples of how bad aftermaths of Sputnik are - so when my husband and I arrive, we want to do Pfizer in Canada. Are we going to be okay crossing the border while unvaccinated prior to arrival? Quarantine after arrival?

Where have you seen this requirement?

Who is considered fully vaccinated?

An individual is considered fully vaccinated if they have received:

The full series of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or any combination of such vaccines
One or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada, followed by one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine authorized by Health Canada
Three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada
They received their final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before providing the proof of being fully vaccinated.

That is only for Ontario vaccine proof and not for entry into the country. They will still be considered unvaccinated

"Three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada" - fully vaccinated... what's that then?

Again, this in information by Ontario Health.

Not CBSA for entering into Canada.

This is the info for entering into Canada.

We didn't enter Canada yet lol our applicaion is still under eligibility review. So I cannot share my experience, sorry
If you're landing with fresh pr, i believe you are ok but still will need to do quarantine.
