The new EU travel rules: Booster vaccination saves our summer vacation

The new EU travel rules (no compulsory testing for those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered!) make you want to go on vacation again. But if you read the regulation carefully, one question remains unanswered: Do those travelers who were boosted early on have to worry about their summer vacation?

The EU paper states: The vaccination certificate is valid for 270 days – starting from the last vaccination. The question: Does this 270-day validity also apply to boosters?

If so, that would mean: Anyone who was boosted in October would lose their vaccination status at the end of June! BILD follows up with the Federal Ministry of Health.

The response from the Federal Ministry of Health is good news for all those who have been boosted: “For entry into Germany – and other EU member states – digital COVID vaccination certificates from the EU are therefore 270 days after completion of the first vaccination series (basic immunization) and for a booster vaccination valid indefinitely.”
