Mandatory proof of vaccination for Italy
Fully vaccinated travelers must have proof of having received the full course of vaccination with a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency, a minimum of 14 days before travel, and a maximum of 270 days (9 months) before traveling to Italy.

Stricter rules around proof of vaccination may apply to the country’s health pass; be sure to read all regulations for a full understanding of vaccination requirements for travel to Italy.
Vaccines accepted are Comirnaty by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca), Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), Nuvaxovid (Novavax), Covishield (Serum Institute of India) (AstraZeneca), R-CoVI (R-Pharm) (AstraZeneca), and COVID-19 vaccine-recombinant (Fiocruz) (AstraZeneca). Those who took a different vaccine as a second shot are considered fully vaccinated.
Travelers who are eligible for the EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate or equivalent may use it to present proof. United Kingdom's proof of COVID-19 recovery and vaccination certificate is also accepted. The US CDC white card is considered equivalent to the Italian Green Pass where required.
