Super Green Pass Italy spring and early summer 2022 trips

[disneytwincesses]

If you are on an Italy trip after Feb 2022, you may want to look at your last covid dose. Italy is denying a super green pass after six months from last covid dose (including boosters) starting Feb 2022. So for those of us who got an early booster in the US and are traveling April or May this can be a huge problem! When I called ABD today they had no clue and told me my Covid vaccine card would work. They said they have not been told of any vaccine requirement changes :/ I pointed out the state department wording on this and this occurred AFTER my PIF date and she said if it is a problem couldn't tell me what ABD would do (full refund or move my trip to a later date), they would contact travelers individually and not to worry, but they cannot tell me anything right now. I am freaking out here, I have $10K in this trip since my PIF due date for Dec 5th (before the PIF change for ABD and before the new Italian rules). I had my third dose Oct 23, 2021 and my trip is April 5-13th. That is under six months right? If the rules stand and are extended (which it says through March 31, 2022) I cannot eat at any cafe or restaurant. I am a little upset ABD doesn't know about this!? or contacted travelers. I cannot be the only person this may mess up.

I'd escalate to a Supervisor. They have to make a decision sooner rather than later how they plan to handle things like this. The Vacationistas only know what they are told.

My TA did talk to a supervisor and they had no clue either what would happen.

ETA: Never mind, I see it now (bolding theirs).

The super green pass is valid for nine months from the time of the most recent vaccination for those fully vaccinated (two doses or more), through January 31, 2022. Starting February 1, 2021, super green pass validity will be reduced to six months from the time of the most recent vaccination.

If it was me, I'd ask my doctor what the chances were of getting a second booster at 5 months. Who knows when the new booster will be required....

I can ask but from my research unless it is Cdc approved reason or fda approved reason doctor risk legal things they sign. I guess I can call tomorrow and ask.

well my trip April 5-12 is no longer on the ABD website. My TA has not heard anything........it has been waitlist only for a while, does that mean they are about to cancel it?

After reading that, if true, it seems Italy doesn’t want tourist during 2022.

They will probably HAVE to change it as they started dose three in October/November for very elderly and medical doctors who works with Covid patients (from what I read). Just no one knows when they will :/

Looks like they may have clarified some on the super green pass. From https://it.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/

• Starting on February 7, 2022, travelers to Italy holding a valid certificate of recovery or vaccination (even with a vaccine not recognized in Italy) and issued more than 6 months ago, may still access the same services and activities reserved to Super Green Pass holders after receiving a negative swab test (valid 48 hours if antigenic, or 72 hours if molecular).
