Question
For anyone who has traveled into Spain these last few months, when it comes to them looking at Vaccination documents, is there a minimum timeframe for having the booster to be allowed in without having to show a test? For example, I’ve had my second vaccine since last summer, but I just got my booster while home on the 13th, and my flight is on the 27th.

“Boosters don’t have an “expiration date”. If you’ve had a booster, you are fine to enter with only showing proof of your vaccination. No diagnostic test needed. And no, no need to wait any length of time for your booster to be valid for entry. You could get boosted and then enter the next day.”
