If it has been more than 270 days since your shot you need a booster.I am so confused reading government web pages and forums…
According to US vax requirements, 1 johnson&johnson vax shot is fully vaccinated. Do I need to take a booster for Spain…or is 1 dose enough?
Thank you…If it has been more than 270 days since your shot you need a booster.
From the government's Travel Safe Spain website:
Notice: Keep in mind that you need 14 days from the last dose at least and no more than 270 days since the date of administration of your last dose. From that moment on, your vaccination certificate must show the administration of your booster dose. You may prove it with your EU COVID Certificate as long as it is updated and in force.

I’ve seen several people with that plan.Thank you…
1st dose (only 1 needed for H&M’s) was 4/2 so I think I am good.
Now I am reading that this is only for airport arrival to Spain. I am arriving via Paris. I assume 1 dose and proof of neg test would be enough, since there are no checkpoints crossing by foot into Spain.
Why does this have to be so confusing!
For the umpteenth time: The fact that there are no checkpoints on the land borders between EU countries does not to mean that there are no Covid-19 public health restrictions that people ought to inform themselves about and comply with. Throughout 20+ months or so, the Spanish government had been particularly clear about their requirements for entering their country by air travel, by sea travel and by land travel where they even clearly specified whether it concerned travel by land from Portugal or travel by land from all of France or from specific regions of France. While they had at no point wasted human resources or financial resources to put border control on the Route Napoleon.Now I am reading that this is only for airport arrival to Spain.

People miss what is NOT confusing... it's not the shots, it's what is accepted by the country as proof of having the shots. I know that Portugal on it's government websites does NOT accept the CDC Proof of vaccination. You need to find out what certificate is accepted. Then life will be easier... And read the fine print. Portugal accepts proof from countries where it has a reciprocal agreement to accept the various certificates... It DOES NOT have a reciprocal agreement with the USA.Thank you…

"For the umpteenth time" I am sorry to bothered you (you did not have to reply).For the umpteenth time: The fact that there are no checkpoints on the land borders between EU countries does not to mean that there are no Covid-19 public health restrictions that people ought to inform themselves about and comply with.

Also, at this point in time, don't airlines inform their passengers during the booking process about the requirements for boarding of the international flights they sell to their customers and don't they provide the links to relevant Covid-19 related public health requirements for each passenger booked to enter their destination country? At this point in time, passengers should not need to ask on social media.
But, ok, for reassurance, although @trecile and @Harland2019 have said it already: You fly from the USA to France. You walk from France to Spain. You had a first injection for Covid-19 immunisation on 2 April 2022 in the USA and it was the Johnson&Johnson vaccine (I don't understand what H&M means). So you need your vaccination certificate and also the filled in Passenger Locator Form for France. See https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/c...ations-pratiques/article/coronavirus-covid-19, updated on 2 April 2022. When you click on the link and have switched to English and start the form you will see what is shown in the screenshot below.
But all this ought to have been provided to you by your airline either during the booking process or when you got the confirmation email.

So no one asked for proof of vaccination flying into Portugal? So who did you have to show negative test to? Airline in US?Walked into Spain from Portugal. All we needed to flying to Portugal was a negative test. And we have needed to show nothing else anywhere throughout Portugal and Spain.
Please note, this passenger locator form for France appears to be a new requirement. I have friends who flew from United States to Paris Wednesday and filling out the online form was difficult because of functionality. I know someone who flew in march and there was no requirement for this form.

Correct, some rules change. It is actually a reason why I posted in this thread. The eupdf Passenger Locator Form has been around since last year, I know it for certain but it may be a new requirement for US travellers to France. A forum member contacted me in private conversation recently and asked about this. The requirement had been communicated to him by United Airlines - see screenshot below; I blurred some data, although it is not necessary as they are not specifically private data.Please note, this passenger locator form for France appears to be a new requirement.

Thank you dreaminggypsy, it's very kind of you to tell everyone your personal experience, as it is difficult wading through all the covid this/ covid that, shots, certificate, test etc, etc... it CAN be confusing as different countries require different passes. If all seasoned Pellegrino's would just say this is what I experienced, it'd be so much more appreciated by all of us "newbies"... thank you again. R&M here in California~Walked into Spain from Portugal. All we needed to flying to Portugal was a negative test. And we have needed to show nothing else anywhere throughout Portugal and Spain.
But if your vaccinated, why the worry?Worth keeping in mind that lifting of mask mandates does not eliminate the risk of catching Covid or any other airborne virus, it increases the risk while the virus is still circulating. Still worth carrying masks for extra protection in certain circumstances.
.
Unless you are wearing an N-95 mask they will do little to protect you. The data supports cloth or surgical masks somewhat limiting aerosol droplets so it may help to limit the spread to others. Bottom line a mask probably won’t help you but may help others. If you are worried I’d recommend getting a private room. Good luck!Worth keeping in mind that lifting of mask mandates does not eliminate the risk of catching Covid or any other airborne virus, it increases the risk while the virus is still circulating.

It goes without saying that the variant dictates the mask. Start Camino August 20. Have 35 private rooms pre booked.Unless you are wearing an N-95 mask they will do little to protect you.

Excellent. I was going to book all my accommodations ahead of time as well (not for Covid reasons). Hope it works out and if you can remember, post on here when you’re complete and let us know if you were able to stick to your plan.It goes without saying that the variant dictates the mask.

With this very moderate variant hopefully Covid is just a minor nuisance at worst for folks on the Camino. Good luck to you Dennis!
I find the whole process rather intimidating! Thankyou for your kind reply. Some answers board on bullying!"For the umpteenth time" I am sorry to bothered you (you did not have to reply).
I have been reading threads, posts, country websites trying to figure this out without having to ask. I do not want to arrive and be wrong. You read one thing, and the next thing you read appears to be opposite what you just read. I am thankful that each country has own restrictions and policies, but at the same time it is hard to know.
As for the airline, no they did not provide with information when booking ticket...I wish they had.
Trying to respond on phone "J&J" came out "H&M", my apologies...I hate typos too.
I appreciate your post and the time you took to respond.
Hello … I will be flying in 2 days to Paris from Chicago, trying to fill up the EU Digital Passenger locator form but the boarding airport (O’hare International Airport) i’ll be flying from is not in the list … I don’t know what to doCorrect, some rules change. It is actually a reason why I posted in this thread. The eupdf Passenger Locator Form has been around since last year, I know it for certain but it may be a new requirement for US travellers to France. A forum member contacted me in private conversation recently and asked about this. The requirement had been communicated to him by United Airlines - see screenshot below; I blurred some data, although it is not necessary as they are not specifically private data.
So UA definitely informs their US passengers for flights to France about the PLF form; and they provide the link to fill in the form. I did not notice any technical difficulty. So, as I've done umpteen times during the past two years - am I allowed to say this about myself- I filled in an online form to know what I was talking about. It is easy to do, straightforward and you get confirmation and QR code within seconds.
So passengers on flights to France are required to fill in a digital passenger locator form. Whether they do it or not, they are highly unlikely to be controlled upon their arrival in Paris. Such controls are done on arrival airports in Europe only on a random basis and this happens very rarely. What you do is up to you (generic you), the passenger & pilgrim.
Note that United Airlines says that they will not check and that there may be a check after arrival.

@Lielani: For Boarding Airport, click on or type OTHER.trying to fill up the EU Digital Passenger locator form but the boarding airport (O’hare International Airport) i’ll be flying from is not in the list … I don’t know what to do
Thank you. This is the information I've been looking for. I am cycling from Porto. Flying from USA into Portugal. I couldn't figure out if I needed to register on some Spain Health site but I'm guessing that is only if I'm flying into Spain, not Portugal. I will get the covid test before departure from Los Angeles and bring my vaccination card too.Walked into Spain from Portugal. All we needed to flying to Portugal was a negative test. And we have needed to show nothing else anywhere throughout Portugal and Spain.
You know, if it's going to be such a drag for you to inform people about any requirements (for the upteenth time... whatever!) maybe you should just let other fellow pilgrims inform people of their experiences and what the requirements are. To be truthful, requirements are changing all the time, such as entering the US all mandates, tests and requirements have been lifted as of June 12th, so there you go... chill out and lets make this forum a place of encouragement and excitement for those traveling to Spain for the joy of their Camino experience.For the umpteenth time: The fact that there are no checkpoints on the land borders between EU countries does not to mean that there are no Covid-19 public health restrictions that people ought to inform themselves about and comply with.

Do you think we should just leave those fellow pilgrims to post their well-meaning but sometimes incorrect, incomplete or misleading descriptions of those requirements? Should we not challenge and correct them?You know, if it's going to be such a drag for you to inform people about any requirements (for the upteenth time... whatever!)maybe you should just let other fellow pilgrims inform people of their experiences and what the requirements are.
