Hi sorry it's not really Aibu but am panicking so posting in aibu for traffic as going to Spain a week from tomorow and my booster dates back to December 2021 - does that mean it's expired and I'll need another booster to get in to Spain?? I hadn't planned on getting a 4th dose, and I haven't even been called up for one yet (I am 53) my current cert status is showing as "active" so does that mean it hasn't expired and will be ok for travel??

Thanks all.
I did check relevant websites but non have said what the situation is if your booster was more that 270 days ago.
It sounds like there is no expiry on the booster so I should be ok
Thank you 😊

From .gov site:

If you have received a booster, you are considered fully vaccinated for entry into Spain. As soon as you receive your booster, you are considered fully vaccinated with immediate effect. There is currently no expiry date for booster jabs.

My booster is dated January 22 and I entered Spain with it a couple of weeks ago with no issues. I also went to (a different part of) Spain a month before that and wasn’t asked to show my cert at all. Well they asked if we had one, we said yes and they waived us through!

I had to show my COVID passport when entering Spain a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't downloaded it yet I would do that ASAP as they say it can take a while to come through (mine didn't, but better safe than sorry). We had to wear facemasks on public transport when we were travelling around Spain, so make sure to take a few masks with you!

That's great thanks!

I’ve just come back from the canaries
I had my booster in Dec 21
I had proof on my NHSApp but they weren’t interested didn’t even ask to see it m

you didn’t have to wear masks anywhere either apart from on the local buses

We flew to mallorca in September and they checked every single persons vaccination on way in- scanned the part 3 of it.
If people didn't have it they swabbed them- not sure if they charge/make you isolate if it's positive.
I would take a screen shot of your part 3 in case it's the same for you.
