    Since June 9, 2021, the flow of travelers between France and foreign countries has reopened, according to modalities that vary based on the health situation of third countries and the vaccination of travelers. A classification of countries has been defined on the basis of health indicators. It may be adapted according to the evolution of the epidemic situation. The vaccines accepted by France are those recognized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA): Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca/Vaxzevria/Covishield and Johnson & Johnson. The proof of vaccination is only valid if it can attest to the completion of a complete vaccination schedule and the time required after the final injection: for the "COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen", 28 days after the administration of one dose, for other vaccines, 7 days after a second dose, except for persons who have been infected with COVID-19, for whom this period is after one dose. At as today, there is no need to get a booster shot of vaccine to come to France. Find more information at https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/conseils-par-pays-destination/.
