In travel terms, fully vaccinated is defined as someone who has received a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

The authorised vaccines are:
* Pfizer,
* Moderna,
* AstraZeneca
* Johnson & Johnson

Fully Vaccinated individuals are those who had their vaccination two weeks after their second dose,
or four weeks after the injection if they received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson jab.


Travellers from the UK who had AstraZeneca’s Covishield vaccine do not count as ‘fully vaccinated’ under French rules.
