ah ok, but getting into the country so long as they are with vaccinated parents they can enter with a negative test ?
No- they need it to enter hospitality settings and pretty much any indoor public setting.
I had a negative PCR also, but my recovery cert worked for me not having to get a test when I landed back in Canada.
Kids under 12 need to show vax certs to enter the USA ?
@Frank Bullitt Did you manage to travel with just the COVID recovery cert?
You'll be fine with EU cert. They only give a very cursory glance and once they know you're coming from Europe know you can't get into the country without vaccine cert. US citizens just show cards as vaccine passes- it's all very box ticking everywhere we went to. Kids under 12 need to show certs as well.
I would assume you don't need a recovery cert as long as you have your boostered vaccine cert. How are they to know you have recently recovered unless you explicitly tell them
With effect from today passengers to Ireland with an accepted proof of vaccination, or proof of recovery from COVID-19 in the prior 6 months do not have to show an additional pre-departure Covid test result.
Passengers without proof of vaccination, or proof of recovery from COVID-19 in the prior 6 months, must show evidence of a negative / not-detected PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to arriving in Ireland. Only PCR tests results will be accepted for passengers to Ireland from 6th January.
In situations where a person is unable to present evidence of a negative ('not detected') RT-PCR test prior to travel due to continuing to test persistently positive after infection - a positive RT-PCR result from a test taken 11 or more days prior to the date on which the person arrives in the State and no more than 180 days prior to the date on which the person arrives, will be accepted.
It advises a recover cert can be used for Travel to Ireland.
Recovery cert is useful if you intend to get a PCR and it shows Positive, you have proof it could be from an old infection.
Has anyone been or planning to go to New York? Is the EU Covid Pass accepted for indoor activities? It's not listed on their US-centric page.

I genuinely thought the test showed live virus in system as opposed to antibodies, worried now as I'm travelling too
Im travelling feb 11th ,tested positive in Dec,but have 2 vaccines plus booster have updated covid cert showing 3 vaccinations. Have antigen booked 24 hrs in advance, do I also need covid recovery cert? Or does my cert with booster suffice?

Were you able to fly with just a recovery cert or did you need a test too? Trying to confirm before flight Saturday
Just my luck and the Netherlands lift there covid restrictions the day after I visit. Balls on it anyway but I have a few hours before i fly out Friday night.
In Brussels atm and its covid cert quicks everywhere. Very rules restrictions that we used to have in Ireland
Have that already thanks
First off get yourself a recovery cert.

Have a question if some 1 would mind advising please?
Im due to fly abroad this Saturday.have PCR booked for tomorrow.
I tested positive mid November.
What is the likelyhood my PCR returns positive due to antibodies?
Am I better off to get antigen test instead?
Thanks
Interesting one - but they still test at the border, so am wondering what do they do if you test positive since they can no longer put you in quarantine ...
dump you back on the plane ?
I have grey hair after dealing with Randox.we were guaranteed result by next day midnight(pcr was for my husband),we did test in cork.well..our flight was leaving at 6 am following morning( 2 ADULTs and 2 small kids,one baby).we were driving at 4 am to the airport(cork) and still had no reply from randox.result Came in at 5.20 am,when check in was closing.we made it to the flight,biggest stress ever
So did you need a pre departure antigen ?
It sounds promising that more EU countries will drop the additional test requirement soon.

i'd search back but it's a bit tricky with new boards, so quick one for the travellers - due to fly to India Sat morning at 7am and need a 'pre' travel PCR as they don't seem to care for the EU Covid Cert naturally -
Is Randox the best option? I won't be in Dublin until Friday at the earliest, so I assume their express one is the best option at a higher cost, or has anyone experience of doing a regular Randox test and getting it back same day? (before midnight?)
No one knows, some countries are starting to scrap it I believe (Sweden), but sure after that is anyones guess.
without a test?
They can fly, just need tests.
any idea when the unvaccinated will be able to fly internationally again?
Off i go on my solo holiday to a deserted Amsterdam and then onto Brussels
Ill make the most of it i suppose

Any idea where to get the cheapest Anti Gen for traveling in Dublin?
Do any of them do throat swabs instead of nose?
Thanks!
The pharmacist who gave my wife her booster entered the wrong DOB in the database.
After waiting 3 hours on the HSE helpline, they say she has to wait until 28 days after the booster date before she should call again and they will raise a case.
Which means she'll also have to PCR before Feb travel
