I’m not sure exactly how that would work. Aren’t there required quarantine periods on both sides? There are a lot of taxes built into the price of the flights, so it would probably still be “profitable” to the US if that is all you did. You’ll need transportation to and from the airport, you’ll probably need to eat a meal or two, etc. And if half the people stay for a month and make a vacation out of it, that more than covers the other half that fly in and out.
The cynic in me says that government officials did the math and figure that it is a great economic boost to allow people to fly in and get a “free” vaccination. I mean, seriously, the government bought something like 2 billion doses for a population of 350 million.
Around me, the Pfizer shot seems to be most common, and wherever you go will schedule your second dose for three weeks later. If you get a Moderna shot, they schedule you for four weeks out.
