Hi sorry this has probably been asked a thousand times. Scenario..16 year old only received one vaccination traveling to Spain. 

Can he travel with fit to fly antigen test as opposed to PCR?

thanks to all you clever people 😃

    If you’re not fully vaccinated

    If you’re not fully vaccinated, you can enter Spain presenting one of the following documents:

    • documentation certifying that you have undertaken a diagnostic test and tested negative within 72 hours of entering Spain if using a COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar), or 24 hours if using an antigen test.

    He can still get another jab - there's no 'latent' time between the jab and travel needed.

    As long as it is 12 weeks since the first vaccination unless he is in the vulnerable category when it is 4 weeks.
