Wouldn’t it be better to track recent antibody scores, rather than whether you got a shot. It was recently published thAt 30% of immunocompromised folks did not develop any antibodies after the first round. False security. Plus, we now know immunity wanes over time. I heard that your immunity can go up/down daily based on other factors like other sickness, even sleep. https://aditxt.com/aditxt-adds-neutralizing-antibody-measurement-to-covid-19-immune-test/

@PelicanPirate, your post is mostly irrelevant to this thread.
Scubaman's post was a matter of factual information, not an invitation to turn this into yet another Covid discussion. The Government of Canada has mandated that all travellers 12 and over must be fully-vaccinated to fly, take the train, or a cruise ship, as of October 30th. That is the reality that everyone has to be aware of if they are travelling in Canada, or to or from Canada (e.g. to or from SXM).
Over 80% of all eligible Canadians age 12 and over are already fully vaccinated, and almost 90% have had at least one dose. The government is doing its part to incentivize those not already vaccinated to do so and ensuring they don't unnecessarily endanger the rest of us. We will also need a Covid test within 72 hours to both enter SXM and to reenter Canada. That combination of requirements helps minimize the risk of transmission. I support that initiative.

I wondered as much also. Some clarification would be appreciated.
