Travelling via Eurostar to Paris/Covid booster

IvyFlood

Hello forum

Can anyone please confirm what vaccination status is required to enter France as I'm really confused!

We booked out trip for August last night and we are traveling via Eurostar from London. Once we'd completed the booking, the site took us to a 'check you have the correct documents to travel' page and on it we have to select our vaccination status.

It says the following;

Entering France

To be considered fully vaccinated by the French authorities you must comply with the following.

If you are aged 18 or over, you must have:

received a COVID-19 vaccine booster, OR

had your primary vaccine dose(s) within the past 9 months.

Yet on the Government website and on another part of Eurostar website it says there are no restrictions and these were lifted in August 2022.

Both me and my husband have had two doses of the vaccine in 2021 but we haven't had boosters. I am reluctant to get a booster as well as we are also trying for a baby and when I had my previous doses, it really messed up my cycle (sorry if that's tmi!)

Just wondering if anyone who has been on the Eurostar to Paris recently can ease my concerns! I have emailed Eurostar to clarify but not sure when I'll hear back.

Thanks

Official Government advice ( Entry requirements - France travel advice - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk )currently says: 

From 1 August 2022, COVID-19 travel restrictions for travellers to France were lifted. The rules that previously applied to travellers coming to France no longer apply:

• you are no longer required to present proof of vaccination
• you are no longer required to fill out any forms prior to your arrival in France, such as a justification for travel or a sworn statement
• you are no longer required to show proof of a negative PCR or antigen test upon arrival in France

Best, though, to keep checking to make sure things don't change.

Bon chance!

Yes I've seen that. It says you are no longer to provide proof of vaccination, but you need to have all the correct forms! One of them being vaccination status! Argh!

I travelled on the Eurostar last month to Paris (and back) no covid pass, or proof of vaccination was requested on either side.

You can get it oline as I did a short while back and not sure if that counts
the vaccination status is there from the NHS and as its FoC and have it on your phone IMO just an extra peace of mind
