A requirement that foreign nationals entering the U.S. and Canada be vaccinated for COVID-19 is exacerbating the supply-chain logjam, according to freight industry groups who say they can’t find enough vaccinated drivers to bring goods across the U.S.-Canada border.
The U.S. government argues the new requirement has had little such impact and argues the public health benefits make the mandate worthwhile.
The U.S. on Jan. 22 began imposing the vaccine requirement on all non-U.S. individuals traveling for both essential and nonessential reasons. The restrictions do not apply to U.S. citizens entering the United States.
