steveweese Posted November 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just received an email from X pertaining to a health and safety checklist. Here is the part that is bothering me: Vaccination Policy: Acceptable proof of vaccination must be in the form of the original vaccination record document issued by the country’s health authority or healthcare provider that administered the vaccination. All guests 12 and older should bring proof of vaccination with the last dose given at least 14 days before the sailing. The CDC will also consider a guest fully vaccinated with proof of vaccination that can include a mixed series of any two of the following vaccines, with a minimum of 28 days between doses: Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, Sinovac, or Sinopharm. When we were vaccinated it was 21 days apart so we are not complying to the 28 day guideline. We also have our booster. Who has sailed and have you heard of any problems with X checking this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfs2k Posted November 3, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2021 you have a booster which is more than 28 days apart from the second. Im sure youre fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherFigment Posted November 3, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We sailed and had Pfizer which gave us the same 21 day time span. We were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janedoe2012 Posted November 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2021 You should be fine based on the current Healthy at Sea FAQ's COVID-19 Booster Shots Guests who have received 3 or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, due to booster regimens, will be considered fully vaccinated if at least one of these conditions is satisfied: At least 2 of the doses are mRNA vaccines administered at least 28 days apart. The final dose must be completed at least 14 days before sailing. At least 2 of the doses are AstraZeneca administered at least 28 days apart. The final dose must be completed at least 14 days before sailing. At least 1 dose is Johnson & Johnson, completed at least 14 days before sailing.

Rare DCPIV Posted November 3, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Read closely, and you'll see that the 28-day requirement applies only to a mixed series and not to someone who received only the Pfizer vaccine. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted November 3, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 3, 2021 21 days between 1st and 2nd Pfizer is the ‘normal’ timeframe. Our local health dept set our second shot date 21 days after back in February. We got our booster recently. I agree I think that is when you mix shot types. den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveweese Posted November 3, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Looking back at the rules in place it says Pfizer 21 days apart which is what I had. 28 days for Moderna which my wife got. I agree we should be good ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted November 3, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Am I correct to assume that Celebrity, as of today, is still not requiring the booster and therefore we do not need to bring proof of having received our booster shot. (since we laminated our original cards after the 2nd shot, we were issued a separate card for the booster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're filling out the dates in the app, don't use the date for the booster as your 'last' date. What they want is the 'last' (second) date for your 'full vaccination' if you had a 2 shot series (e.g., Moderna, Pfizer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may change in the next month, we do not sail until December 4th, but at least I understand the current requirements correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 81Zoomie Posted November 7, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I did not see any info on the Healthy at Sea page about booster shots. We were fully vaccinated months ago. If we get a booster within one week of sailing, will X look at the date of the booster (3rd) shot, or the second shot? Don’t want any surprises at the pier. And yes, there is a reason for our booster timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, there is a reason for our booster timing. No one can tell you exactly what the folks at the pier will do, but Celebrity only wants people to be "fully vaccinated," and for the mRNA vaccines, right now that means only two shots. (And for Celebrity, the second shot must have been at least 14 days before sailing.) IMHO, you should not have a problem. That is just my opinion.

jelayne Posted November 7, 2021 #16 Share Posted November 7, 2021 We got the booster before it was officially approved so that it would be more than 14 days before we boarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted November 8, 2021 #17 Share Posted November 8, 2021 An earlier post on a separate thread said they’d had the Booster 10 days prior to departure and it wasn’t an issue. Their 2nd shot was months prior. The point isn’t some concern about having the shot close to departure, it is allowing the 2-shot (or J&J 1 shot) vaccines to properly set a high immunity which takes ~14 days to reach full capability of the vaccines - this is what has been stated in various CDC posts, not my guesses or assumptions. So a Booster within the 14d prior isn’t the issue. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted November 8, 2021 #18 Share Posted November 8, 2021 As of today when I checked, Celebrity does not ask about boosters, just your first and second shots. Because we laminated our original shot cards, our booster is recorded on a second card. We did not provide that information, just photo’s of the front and back of our original shot cards.

The 28 fay requirement is the amount if time between doses IF yoiu received ine type for the first dose and another type for the second dose.. This dies meet the CDC requirements. Once again, this is ONLY if you received Moderna once and Pfizer once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
