Vaccines aren’t just beneficial for your health. If you plan on traveling to a foreign country, it’s also incredibly helpful to your vacation experience (and peace of mind) to get vaccinations in advance. And no, that doesn’t mean bringing a needle with you and administering shots to yourself when you arrive at the airport.
Vaccines. We don’t think about them very often, but we sure do use them. In fact, most of us have used vaccines in our lifetime. You’ve had them at the doctor’s office and your parents might have even given you a few before bedtime. Possibly, you were vaccinated with the dreaded polio vaccine. Sooner or later, you knew someone who was vaccinated against some sort of disease. For instance, my grandfather was vaccinated and he lived to be 96 years old! Vaccination is big deal!
Vacation With Vaccine
Vaccinations protect against a variety of diseases. They offer protection and health benefits to communities and the global population.
What You Need To Know
Covid-19 entry requirements continue to fall like dominoes—and travel has resurged in tandem. In the past three months, 28 new countries (and two territories) have been added to the list below. That brings the grand total of destinations without any entry requirements to 85, just shy of the number of countries with testing measures still in place.
That’s not to say the pandemic is over: Greece’s approach has been one of a summer holiday of sorts, suspending border rules during peak tourist season with the caveat that it may reinstate them in September if case levels rise too high. Similarly, France, one of the last countries in Europe to do away with vaccine or testing requirements, may activate its “emergency brake” contingency at any point for up to two months in the event of a new variant or serious uptick in cases.
International travelers still need the requisite visas, of course, but nations on every continent have now adopted a post-pandemic attitude toward both tourism and local life, loosening masking rules in tandem with border restrictions. Regardless of your vaccination status, that means no pre- or post-arrival test, quarantines, or, in most cases, even passenger-tracking forms.
Nick Ewen, director of content for the Points Guy, says less restrictions means less confusion and an easier go of it all around. “There are fewer things to understand before you travel. It has really put the onus of making responsible decisions on the individual passengers.”
Having clear and concise Covid requirements—that is, none at all—is seen as the way forward by some governments, especially with infection rates dropping following mass-scale vaccination and booster campaigns. Whether this loosening of restrictions stokes your own personal wanderlust or serves as a red flag remains a personal choice.
As the list below is merely about crossing borders, travelers are still advised to check what internal regulations govern masking, vaccine passports, health checks, and the like to eat at restaurants or attend events such as a concert. Travel insurance may also be necessary.
