Because she's unvaccinated against COVID-19, Tamika McIntosh of Brampton, Ont., wasn't allowed to board a plane to fly to Jamaica last month to attend her grandfather's funeral.

Now, McIntosh combs the news daily for any indication when Canada might lift its vaccine mandate for travellers so she can finally go to Jamaica and pay her last respects. 

"You don't get the closure when you don't get to physically be there to say goodbye," said McIntosh. "Until I physically get to go to his grave site and spend some time there, that void will always be open."
