Vaccination Is No Longer Enough—a Booster Is Now a Must in These Places

The list of destinations that now require visitors to have proof of a Covid-19 booster shot in addition to an original vaccination has snowballed in recent weeks.

 

Increasingly, studies demonstrate boosters provide strong protection from severe illness—research released this week in the United Kingdom found they cut the risk of hospitalization by 95%. Consequently, health authorities are responding by expanding their definitions of full protection to include a booster.

 

The European Union's governing body recently revised its rules to state that vaccination certificates would only be valid for 270 days (about 9 months) unless they have been renewed with a booster shot. As a result, many EU countries have been changing their local policies to reflect the shift.

270 days is ridiculous, all studies show that immunity wanes rapidly after two months, 90 to 120 days is probably the right number. We must learn to live with Covid and accept three boosters a year for the foreseeable future. 

 

Besides that the Danes are now paving the way ahead.

That's just one rule.  Every one is different.  Some are now 4 months, like in France.  I ran up against this a few months ago when coming back to Thailand.  My transit country required a vaccine within 6 months.  Crazy times.
