OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Should I post 3rd or 4th Covid Vaccine Shot when applying for QRcode?

Now Spain requires 3 dates. Recently, I received a 4th vaccine jab as we are flying in less than 4 weeks. Should I use the initial two dates and the 3rd shot,or use the 4th shot….Or, should I start with with 2nd shot and add 3rd and 4th?

• You fill in your vaccination data manually.
• You must choose the option "Other Certificate".
• You then have two options: Complete regimen and Booster.
• You choose Booster.
• You enter the Date of last dose administered and the Country issuing the certificate. That's all you can enter.
• You Validate.

@Kathar1na I didn't realize that now Spain required 3 vaccines, as per initial post. Is this true?

You make a number of assumptions that are not relevant for the SpTH form that must be filled out in order to obtain the required QR code for flying to Spain.

I checked the current requirements in the SpTH app today for a traveller from the USA. Since you don't have an EU DCC or equivalent, you do not upload your vaccination documents. Instead:

• You fill in your vaccination data manually.
• You must choose the option "Other Certificate".
• You then have two options: Complete regimen and Booster.
• You choose Booster.
• You enter the Date of last dose administered and the Country issuing the certificate. That's all you can enter.
• You Validate.

Since you are not able to upload an EU DCC or equivalent, the system performs no checks on your vaccination documents. Unlike the owners of EU certificates or equivalents who receive a Fast Control QR, you receive a Document Control QR. Checks, if any, of your vaccination documentation will be done visually before boarding in the USA and after disembarkation in Spain.

For me, a booster shot is required as my initial 2 doses were completed in Early March 2021…which would be more than 365 from days when I will enter Spain in late April. So I am correct..it is not wrong! Whether one needs a booster depends upon when you received your second shot as I understand it. I am somewhat immune compromised, which is the reason I recently obtained a fourth jab.

For Clarification From Spanish Travel health.

As of 1 February 2022, vaccination certificates issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin shall be accepted as valid 14 days after the date of administration of the last dose of the complete vaccination schedule (primary vaccination), provided that no more than 270 days have elapsed since the date of administration of the last dose of said vaccination schedule. Thereafter, the vaccination certificate issued by the competent
authority of the country of origin must reflect the administration of a booster dose. These certificates will be considered valid from the day the booster dose is administered. Complete vaccination schedules are defined as those established in the COVID-19 vaccination Strategy in Spain.
