Will they let me in - France?

Please help, I'm not sure if I can go to France or not.

Had my first jab in May 2021 then second jab 30th Jan 2022

There isn't time to get a booster before I'm supposed to go in early April.

What do you think will I get turned away at the border?!

No you’ll be fine. Only four months since the last one.

PrimroseMarigold · 17/03/2022 20:33

Thank you, that sounds very promising!

I would check that. I believe you need to be triple vaxed. Just been to Paris that’s what they needed to let me in to events ( I went to the agricultural show). Not sure about getting in to the country.

I hope I’m wrong but this suggests that you are not fully vaccinated, you are coming in from an “ orange” country and you need a compelling reason to visit

The rules changed on 14th March.

superram · 17/03/2022 20:45

Travellers aged 18 and over who had their full vaccine course over 9 months ago and have not since received a COVID-19 vaccine booster must follow the rules for unvaccinated passengers to enter France (see below).

superram · 17/03/2022 20:46

You aren’t 9 months overdue.

DesertStorms · 17/03/2022 20:48

Has anyone been recently who has
Lapsed vaccines and no booster? I am going on September and am in this situation.

whataboutbob · 17/03/2022 20:49

Ok I hope you are right, I cannot find anything that says those rules have been dropped.

DesertStorms · 17/03/2022 20:50

You’ll be fine

whataboutbob · 17/03/2022 20:51

@DesertStorms unless you get yourself up to date by September, you will need a compelling reason to visit.

DesertStorms · 17/03/2022 20:56

Really? I thought you just had to have a PCR ?

DesertStorms · 17/03/2022 20:57

If I had the booster now I still done know if that would be sufficient as there is another six months to go and it’s ten months since my last vaccine. It’s all a mess

DesertStorms · 17/03/2022 20:58

Unvaccinated travellers (12 years or over, even if accompanied by vaccinated adults) have to provide the result of a negative PCR carried out less than 72 hours prior to departure, or an antigen test (in paper or digital format) carried out less than 48 hours prior to departure.

averylongtimeago · 17/03/2022 21:04

If your 2nd jab was less than 9 months before you travel you are good to go.
You don't need a compelling reason to travel or a PCR test.

But check out the official French website:

Thank you all for your help. I just find all this red tape & changing rules so confusing!
