The full vaccine series guarantees free travel to many European countries, but children under 12 do not receive the vaccine. It does not have to mean a test drum for families with children, because only in a few tourist countries favored by Finns are children required to take a corona test.
Finns have actively booked autumn holidays, tell travel agencies.
Also, for example, Director of Health Safety at the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) Mika Salminen is statedthat you can travel in EU countries quite safely if you have received two vaccinations.
Indeed, the two vaccines provide adolescents and adults with access to most countries. However, children under the age of 12 do not receive the vaccine in Finland. So how should we proceed? HS compiled entry requirements for children in Europe.
Great some travelers under the age of 12 do not have to worry about a test drum. Children of this age enter most of the European countries favored by Finnish tourists without quarantine without a certificate of negative coronary test or coronary heart disease.
Data have been collected from, among others, the EU From the Re-open EU website. It is a good idea to check the country-specific information before you travel, as it may vary.
The biggest exceptions to the most common travel destinations for Finns are Italy, the Czech Republic, Norway, Great Britain, Estonia and Hungary.
Italy and the Czech Republic have a lower age limit, as only children under the age of 6 are exempted from the testing requirement.
In Norway, the restrictions on the passenger are broken down by the hospital district of the country of origin. In Finland, Helsinki and Uusimaa have been defined as areas from which those without a corona certificate must remain in quarantine. Children under the age of 18 are exempt from quarantine requirements, but those from the most at-risk areas are recommended to take the test three days after entry.
In Britain, on the other hand, there are various regional restrictions that need to be taken into account. For example, only children aged 4 and under can enter England without a negative corona test result, but in Scotland the corresponding age limit is 11 years.
In Estonia, a child under the age of 12 does not need to present a negative test certificate, but the child will have to remain in voluntary quarantine unless, for example, the accompanying guardian is exempt from quarantine requirements when fully vaccinated. Poland also has a similar requirement for parental vaccinations.
Hungary has strict travel restrictions. You can only enter the country for good reasons if you are not a citizen.
More challenging the situation is for those over 12 years of age who have not received two vaccinations. In Finland, only 26.8 per cent of the 12–15-year-old age group had received two vaccinations by Wednesday.
Many countries require that vaccinations have reached a protective period before a person is considered to have received full vaccination protection.
In Europe, however, Switzerland and Denmark, among others, have also exempted those under the age of 16 from testing requirements.
In Finland, even the strictest post-entry obligations only apply to those born in 2005 and earlier.
