EU Digital/paper! Certs, the Megathread - threadbans in OP

Online sites won't work for me and says to ring the hotline but no answer from the hotline.

We had months to organise this but they made a mess as usual.

Thanks! I will enjoy a nice indoor pint and meal :)

Hi DarHan - same situation for me. I was at UCD around 2pm yesterday and still didn't get my email. Website shows me the same error and the hotline doesn't seem to help if it hasn't been 5 days yet. Were you able to get anything sorted in the meantime?

I was ~3pm yesterday and nothing yet. Rather hoping its a batch process for afternoon sessions not done yet.

Again, someone I know who got theirs in the same centre in the morning has got it!

What vaccine did you get? France considers a person fully vaccinated:

• Seven days after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech [also known as Comirnaty], Moderna [now called Spikevax] and AstraZeneca [now called Vaxzevria] vaccines
• Four weeks after receiving the first (and only) dose of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine
• The same conditions apply for those who received a vaccine recognised by the French medicines regulator as having similar composition and manufacturing process to one of the European Medicines Agency-authorised vaccines listed above, such as Covishield
• Two weeks after the first dose of a vaccine for anyone who has already had Covid-19

Fully vaccinated people: You can travel freely to France. You must be able to present proof of your vaccination status. 

Non-fully vaccinated people: You must present proof of a negative PCR or rapid antigen Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours of travelling.

Cert arrived 15 minutes ago

Jab 2 yesterday at 9am and got my cert at 12am last night.

Does anyone know if I can indoor dine from today onwards or would pubs/restaurants want me to wait til next week?

Ah grand! Kinda relieved as I didn't really want to go out anyway this weekend!!

Is it different depending on the vaccine? I had J&J and got the cert on Saturday and mine is scanning fine.

It'll scan to your phone so you can store it, scan it on the website that hospitality use and it should come up as invalid.

It's 7 days from the date of your second vaccination. Meaning that today anyone that got the second one on the 28 of July will get a green tick, tomorrow the 29 etc. (also the cert doesn't contain the time of the vaccination, just the date, so you could have got it at 11PM but will get a green tick from the morning)

The code that checks that on https://app.digitalcovidcertchecker.gov.ie/ run client side, so it's not hard to verify this. It might be a different story for other things like travel.

So this hasn't happened to anybody reading here?

UHOH

I'm faced with an emergency trip to Berlin...out Friday morning back Monday afternoon...complicated by fact I'm not vaccinated yet...I'm struggling to understand the testing paperwork

I can get flights with EI or RYR

I can get a Antigen or PCR (but either will technically expire before I'm due to return)

The hotels in Berlin are doing free Antigen or you can goto private crowds for PCR

Question:

Can I travel using the Antigen Test (twice...1x done here and 1x done before I come back)

I "think" RYR accept it but EI don't (I've been holding RYR all morning, Germany not stated on their C19 FAQ, EI I think is PCR only)

I "think" Antigen it's acceptable for entry to Germany...BUT about return/entry into Ireland?

It would be much easier to get the test at the Berlin hotel the night prior going to the airport

thanks

Its 48 hours before entry, not the flight. And 72 hours before entry for the PCR. So you should also build in a little time in case your flight gets delayed.
