55. The travelers were not Americans

Canada does not open to fully vaccinated Americans until Aug 9. The people in the article crossed from the US but were either Canadian citizens or non Canadians who live in Canada.

Canada's vaccine strategy was different than ours. I believe they concentrated on first dose as many as possible then worry about the 2nd. They should hit Trudeau's goal of 75% fully vaxxed Canadians by the time the borders open to American travelers.
