Effective 01 February 2022, most European countries consider a person fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose of vaccine has been administered. A single dose of Johnson & Johnson is not considered fully vaccinated, a second dose of a European recognized COVID-19 vaccine needs to be administered to maintain a fully vaccinated status. This fully vaccinated status is valid for 120, 180 to 270 days (this varies from country to country). To maintain a fully vaccinated status, and meet current entry requirements for most EU countries a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine need to be administered before the deadline elapses.
