Austria

Rules on boosters: Austria requires travelers have their COVID-19 booster shot if 270 days have passed since their last vaccine.

Travelers who are fully vaccinated and show proof of recovery are exempt from the PCR test. Children under 12 are also exempt from showing proof of vaccination or a negative test if they are accompanied by a fully vaccinated or recovered adult.

Proof of vaccination or recovery is required in Austria to visit hotels, restaurants, cultural institutions, ride ski lifts, and more.
