Flying home from the DR to Canada and using the land border option first hand experience

No Karma ..anti vaxers who are staunch dead against vaccine will have a come to god moment like it or not..this isn’t going anywhere for a while...
Looked online, Publix advertises that they have the vaccine and accept walk ins. It changes daily. Cab was $25 each way.
Officially no from what I read up online. North Carolina does, which is why I chose that route.
Maybe because he needed to get to Canada and there are no Canadian flights from the DR, nor covid vaccinations on demand in Canada such as in US pharmacies.
But WHY to travel to DR with all this trouble, headache and problems???!!!
Just WHY??!! WHY??!!
Even from our FLL with its 2 hour long flight we waited several months to see that it is safe!
OMG !!!!!!
Not everyone travels on your timeline. I, personally came down in November. In my opinion, it is safer in the D.R then it is in Canada (re:covid). I too will be looking to return, and would be thrilled if I could get a J & J shot on my layover in the US. My intent is to fly into Toronto airport though but I would like to have been vaccinated in the US prior to arrival. Cheers
While at one point he travelled to the DR, his post is relating to leaving POP to get to Canada.
There are no Canadian flights leaving the DR at the moment.
Some people have families, properties and businesses in the DR and Canada.
There are various reasons why someone needs to return.
Family illness, deaths, documents, Dominicans who are PR in Canada, whose PR card has now expired stuck in the DR and no US visa for travel.
A lot of international travel is not tourism related.
Covid and various international government restrictions have affected many after 1.2 years.
I agree,
We travelled to the DR in November, only flight available AC- PUJ.
I returned, wife stayed in DR.
In many ways one is better off in the DR than Canada, even with restrictions in the DR more fun, better life/weather and re:covid.
We came in mid October way before the Canadian government started to punishing innocent people. We have to go back to Canada by mid June. Just hoping the silliness is over by then.
The OP listed all the reasons for the convoluted trip
Knew where get the test in MIA.... Cdn entry
Knew how to get the J&J in Charlotte
Finished off w/ a shuffle to Buffalo
All well planned & executed - seems to me
Not for everybody perhaps..... but custom suited for the OP
WELL DONE !!!
Getting my wife's car from Canada to the US was snap either... nor cheap
But I did it.....
As we said in the Biz School.... the 6 'P' rule

Thank you. It was an effort, but achieved all my goals.
Just wanted to share so that others can use the knowledge.
Interesting to hear how chaotic the Buffalo shuttles are.
The Buffalo newspapers reported the same......

Fly in through Seattle. They give the J&J free. Just tell them that you have no insurance. That’s what we did.
Being vaccinated will not be used in the US that way since the US is not going the way of the "vaccination passport" according to its POTUS.
Testing will be required to enter the US instead.
I have seen stories that many vaccines are going to waste in the USA, so now anyone can get one if they find a place that has them. It seems almost everyone who wants them in the US has gotten them.
