My wife and I are both fully vaccinated. We want to take a trip down to the states at some point this summer. What vaccine requirements are there for children age 1 and 2 to enter the USA? Also what vaccine requirements are there for children 1 and 2 to re-enter Canada?
thank you!
Children of age 5 and under are exempt from vaccine requirements for Canada.
Children under 5 are exempt from vaccination requirements. They are also exempt from pre-entry testing, arrival testing and quarantine, without any limitations on their activities.
These exemptions apply only to the child, not to the parents, guardians or family members travelling together. Children who are 5 on the day of their travel are not exempt from testing requirements
Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children 5 through 11 years old
Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children under the age of 12 aren’t required to provide a valid pre-entry test result, if they’re accompanying a fully vaccinated adult.
They’re exempt from quarantine, without any limitations on their activities. This means, for example, they don't need to wait 14 days before attending school, camp or daycare. However
they need to wear a mask in public settings (including school) for 14 days after arrival to Canada.
Arrival testing for unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children 5 through 11 years old:
- must be tested if their accompanying parent is selected for mandatory randomized testing
