Travel rules: Covid vaccine immunity expiry date - it may not be enough to be fully jabbed
Austria has announced that Britons’ vaccine certificate will only be valid for nine months. In a move triggered by fear of waning immunity from Covid vaccines, Austria is putting a deadline on how long Britons’ vaccinations are valid for.
The 270 days deadline, which equals to nine months, means that Britons who want to travel to the Central European country need to do so sooner rather than later.
Britons can also show a negative test or proof of recent recovery, but these alternatives come with their own set of requirements.
The most important change to the travel rule is the need to self-isolate for between five and 10 days if your vaccination has “expired”.
While Austria may not be Britons’ most common holidaying destination, and the move impacts only a few, it may be a precursor to a bigger trend.
