Flying to Dublin with 13 year old…. Proof

[SausageDogMum73]

Hi all, just looking to see if anyone can provide me with some information so I don’t have a disaster at the airport.

We’re based in Scotland and my son has had one dose of the vaccination, that’s all they give unless vulnerable.

I have a certificate confirming this but is this sufficient to get into Ireland or do they insist that only 2 doses means fully vaccinated in children and therefore I will need a PCTR evidence?

I have googled but it’s vague!

Have you read the guidance as below:

www.gov.ie/en/publication/77952-government-advice-on-international-travel/#travelling-to-ireland

That link states what is required for “fully vaccinated” and 12-17 year olds will need PCR test unless fully vaccinated.

I did, but in Scotland children are considered fully vaccinated with 1 jab. However as Ireland are giving 2 I am assuming he will need a PCR test and have this booked.

The link has a section called approved vaccines says in order to be considered fully vaccinated you'll need two shots of everything but j&j. So you'll need the PCR test

Yes you will need a PCR test

Thanks, that was what I suspected, glad I checked and have one booked!
