Bucket, spade and a pile of red tape: UK travellers warned about Covid rule traps

Tourists who had their jabs more than 270 days ago need a booster to enter France, Spain and Denmark

Travellers have been warned to check their half-term holiday plans to make sure they meet Covid vaccination rules when travelling to EU destinations as a growing number of countries impose new restrictions.

France joined Spain and Denmark last week in requiring anyone who completed their vaccination jabs more than 270 days ago to have a booster to enter the country - or be considered unvaccinated. Austria requires boosters after 180 days.
