1 February 2022, there is a change concerning the period of validity of vaccination certificates. Affected by this are persons who
- have received 2 vaccinations
- or one recovery + 1 vaccination so far
In future, the vaccination series described above will only be valid for
180 days. These regulations apply equally to locals and holidaymakers and concern in particular the
2G status during the stay in Austria.
- After the 180 days, a third vaccination is required for continued validity and maintenance.
- The shortening of the validity of the vaccination certificate applies to all persons aged 12 and over.
- No change in the validity of vaccination certificates for travel to the country. For travelling to Austria, the validity of the second vaccination remains at 270 days.
