Good morning PMTC Members and contacts. Last night the US Department of Homeland Security released a statement informing that all travellers entering the US by land border, including essential travelers such as truck drivers, will be required to show proof of full vaccination when they arrive at the port of entry. Unvaccinated travellers, or those who do not provide valid proof of vaccination, will be refused entry. The requirement does not apply to a US Citizen. See link below for more details.
