France Entry - Vaccinated kids

[KristaK]

Hello

Just a question about double vaccinated 12-15s in France. I finally have two fully vaxxed teens but i know they can't access the online Covid pass - can the certificate I now have to apply for be uploaded to Tous Anti Covid app?

Also, does anyone know if the antigen test can be the ones they send to you to administer or if we have to go to an actual place to have someone administer it? The self ones have a certificate (obv not the NHS ones)

Thanks in advance - it is a minefield but I am so incredibly happy to have them both double vaxxed!

The way I knew my covid vaccine was accepted by the tous anti covid app was by scanning the qr code and it working, so if your DCs have paper certificates with a qr code then just try it! Having said that, I think a paper copy would also be accepted.

The rules on LFTs are a bit woolly, I think. When we travelled in the summer we bought some that were
1 sold as pre-departure tests
2 approved for use in the EU

but if you read more closely it meant pre-departure to return to the UK and they were approved by the EU for use by medical professionals.

I doubt anyone would have known or cared from the certificates that came with them (we used them to travel home), but I panicked and booked express tests ones that were done for us.

My uncle used Dam health when he returned to France after Christmas who were a bit cheaper than express tests (and more convenient for where he was staying).

Thanks both - we have used Dam health previously and the ones you do yourself. Sounds like it’s back to Dam health again!
