My google-fu is not strong today, and I'd either have to wade through thousands of COVID articles or Scholarly links to find out, but I'm nearly certain this was a pre-immigration boarding requirement even then. Canada's website still lists recommended immunization practices for new Canadians, but stops short of imposing a requirement. Then I think about all the whining that's going on regarding air-travel requirements, and I wonder when we all got to feeling so entitled about crossing international borders? It seems right to me that nations are free to impose evidence based entry requirements. I don't have a "right" to just visit any place I want, I am a guest. I expect to have a right to be treated fairly within some semblance of a common law tradition, but certainly nations have a right to make their own determinations about appropriate entry requirements and/or safety and screening practices...

There's also a vaccination schedule for kids.

I guess you could skip that as a parent, but schools might frown on that…
