When does booster jab expire for travel?

I'm struggling to find information on this, and hope someone here might know something! I'm travelling to France on 08 July (actually flying to Switzerland but holidaying in France). I had my booster jab in early January - will this still count by the time I travel? Over 6 months will have lapsed.

I've heard from some people that it expires after 6 months, but I don't even know if I can get my 4th jab at this stage.

I've noted that France still require vaccine passport to enter the country, so this isn't just a matter of getting into restaurants/shops when there.

To my knowledge, for most EU countries, the booster jab has no expiry date currently. If you've only had 2 jabs (no booster) then the second one has to have been within 270 days. I know this applies to Spain, Portugal etc, but not fully sure if France is the same.

Check your Covid pass on the nhs app. Mine says it expires in November and I had my 3rd jab in December.

The booster jab has no expiry date.

No expiry on the booster at the moment. Most people aren't being offered a 4th injection at this stage

Thank you all for the answers, and it's a relief. I just hope France don't suddenly change the rules at the last moment and add an expiry or demand a 4th dose. But I suppose that is the ongoing risk of travel at the moment.

I don't think there is any country that has an expiry on booster jabs as barely anyone has been offered a 4th dose anywhere. Only the clinically vulnerable. So Its not going to change this summer.
