Italia Bella bridges vaccination question
Hi. Does anyone know if we are required to take a PCR or antigen test before traveling if we’re fully vaccinated and have two boosters?
Thank you.

See what the latest info is for Italy, you can google something like Covid entry requirements for Italy, and keep looking before you go because it might change. Tauck will give you some guidance with there final paperwork but they still tell you to keep checking as it is ultimately up to you and they will take no responsibility if you do not have the correct entry requirements.
Thank you. We’ve been trying to keep up but my husband thought they might have made some changes.
We’ll speak to our travel agent.
Just found this on the Embassy website for Italy: (note: 5/1-6/22)
Beginning on May 1 and valid until June 15, 2022, travelers from the United States may enter Italy if they are asymptomatic AND present one of the following:
An Anti-COVID 19 vaccination certificate for an European Medicines Agency (EMA)-recognized vaccine. At present, EMA recognizes the following vaccines: Pfizer-BioNtech, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson, AstraZeneca and Novavax. The date of the last dose of the primary vaccination series must be at least 14 days prior to travel and no more than 270 days before arrival unless a booster shot was administered. Travelers vaccinated in the United States can prove this via the “white card” bearing the CDC logo.
A medical certificate confirming recovery from COVID valid for six months form recovery.
A negative molecular PCR test result carried out within 72 hours of arrival or a rapid antigen test result carried out within 48 hours of arrival
I don't know when you are traveling...if it's after 6/22 then you might keep looking at the website for updates!
Thank you Nancy. We leave June 13-23
and have met the requirements so looks like we’re good.
Thank you so much
It would be wise to look again about 72 hours before you leave for Italy…gives you time to get tested just in case they change the requirements…
