“Medical tourism” — crossing borders to receive health care — is nothing new. But is it ethical in the age of Covid-19?

with CNN’s Dana Bash, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey said that the state was running out of vaccines, and has requested an additional 300,000 vaccines from the Biden-Harris administration, in order to accommodate their “winter visitors” . , Holly Poynter, the public information officer at the Arizona Department of Health Services, says that “the Arizona Department of Health Services does not encourage ‘vaccine tourism,’ ” but also hasn’t observed it as a significant trend in Arizona at this point.

“We decided to go to Wisconsin to get the vaccine because there were none available in Illinois that we could find. We looked everywhere within 100 miles of where we live,” the Bennetts, both 65, tellvia email. “Wisconsin had tons and tons of days, times, and locations available — the location we selected was 35 minutes from our house.” They have each received their first dose of the vaccine and will return to the same clinic for their second.

So far, the Bennetts haven’t gotten any pushback from fellow Illinoians who know about their trip across the border. “Everyone we’ve talked to says ‘good for you — do what you have to do to be safe,’ ” they say. “We are both 65 and have underlying medical conditions, so it was important that we be diligent.”
