Chris Storey, a prosthodontist based in London, Ont., booked a flight to Barbados on July 29. Storey said that's when he called the Consulate General of Barbados in Toronto to ask about the country's vaccine policies and was told he was not vaccinated "in the eyes of Barbados," because he didn't receive the same vaccine for both doses. Vaccines approved by Barbados include AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson, according to the government's website. "I said, well they're both mRNA vaccines ... as far as the Ministry of Health in Canada's concerned, we're vaccinated," Storey said. Chris Storey will be visiting his brothers and sister in Barbados but after booking his flight, he learned his COVID-19 vaccine will not be recognized by Barbados because it is a mixture of Pfizer and Moderna.
