O/S JFK is a vaccination center (free) for the Cdn jab ?
Then continue on to Buffalo or elsewhere.
Doesn't solve the J&J part..... but.....
JFK offers J & J free to non residents?

Then I guess it's masks and Covid tests forever, because Coronavirus/Sars will never be eradicated. Or maybe it just becomes another flu that people die from anyway. Things to ponder....Hmmmm....
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...Then I guess it's masks and Covid tests forever, because Coronavirus/Sars will never be eradicated.

Interested in knowing more about getting the J & J shot. How did you go about that? Did you take a cab? Where to? Cost for cab?

OMG !!!!! WHY did you need all of THIS???!!!Much has been said about how and what can be done. I'll give my experience.
Left POP to Miami. Flight was totally full. Had to show the negative Covid test, did the one at CMC for $4400 RD b/c it only took 30 min.
Overnight in Miami. Miami airport is busy. Not all the shops are open but most are and line ups for every one from the grab and go to the restaurant. - mostly because I know Miami and there is an easy place to get a US PCR test. $150, right across from the Holiday Inn.
Flight to Charlotte. Also full. Airport is totally slammed, barely room to walk around. Why Charlotte? because you can walk into many pharmacies and get a J&J Covid vaccine. One and done. No cost, no line up, out in 25 min.
Flight to Buffalo. Because it was last at night, it was full of snow birds connecting from all over. Annoyance - pre booked a cab to Canada, but the cab never showed. Ended up taking a normal taxi to the Rainbow Bridge then walking over. An hour long wait in the taxi line up. The walk over the bridge is beautiful at night. A few other straggles walking over with me.
Customs - Fairly relaxed. I already filled out the arrivecan app so they were expecting me. No test upon arrival, but they gave me 2 home tests to complete. Was supposed to verify that I made it too my place of quarantine, but the app already knew that I did, so I'm pretty sure it's tracking me. Daily have to check in on the app.
Not as bad as I had expected, but not exactly comfortable. Worth the upgrade with so many flights.
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.OMG !!!!! WHY did you need all of THIS???!!!

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. CheersBut 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 !!!!!!
While at one point he travelled to the DR, his post is relating to leaving POP to get to Canada.But WHY to travel to DR with all this trouble, headache and problems???!!!

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.But WHY to travel to DR with all this trouble, headache and problems???!!!

God bless you, Melphis!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
Proper Planning Prevents P!ss Poor Performance
Fly in through Seattle. They give the J&J free. Just tell them that you have no insurance. That’s what we did.Not everyone travels on your timeline. I, personally came down in November.

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.Just meaning that proof of vaccination should exempt individuals from further testing and quarantining as well as flight restrictions, at arrival either in host or home country.
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.The US is getting quite creative with their shots given their supply. Waiting for one of their airlines to offer the Pfizer shot with the purchase of a ticket. Would rather not wait 105 days for my second shot as is the Canadian way.
