As many Americans continue to get their COVID-19 shots and the guidance for fully vaccinated people changes accordingly, some may be itching to travel after more than a year spent at home. On May 19, travel to Europe was put on the table when the European Union voted to ease COVID-19 restrictions for travelers from COVID-19-“safe” countries, as well as vaccinated foreigners from not-so-safe nations — the US included.
The new list of criteria for nonessential travel to Europe will likely be adopted this week or the next, Bloomberg reported, and it’s important to note that the new traveling privileges will only apply to Americans who are vaccinated with the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines (other vaccines will not be accepted). Being fully vaccinated means two weeks have passed since you’ve received both doses of either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or two weeks since your one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
For those who are fully vaccinated and looking forward to Europe, we made a list of a few questions you’ll want answered before crossing the Atlantic.
