Several countries require travellers to show proof of a Covid-19 booster jab due to the fear of spreading Covid-19 variants. Last year the European Commission proposed a nine-month time limit on vaccination certificates for travel to and within the European Union. The definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ differs depending on the country, with some putting time limits on the initial two doses of the vaccine. This may not restrict entry to the country but might prevent you from accessing certain venues and services upon arrival.
Travellers from the UK can show proof of a booster vaccination within the NHS Covid Pass for international travel. Here we round up the countries that require boosters or third doses either for entry or for domestic activities. Note that the rules are always subject to change and correct at the time of going to press.
AUSTRIA
Travellers must have received the second dose of the vaccine no more than 270 days before entry into the country, or received a booster shot no more than 270 days
