Since February 1, new rules for issuing EU digital COVID certificates have been in force in Croatia, which are aligned with the EU Regulation and the Council Recommendation.
The changes relate to the rules for issuing and validity periods of COVID test and vaccination certificates. The new rules define differences in the application of COVID certificates in the territory of the Republic of Croatia and at border crossings.
PCR test certificates are still valid for 72 hours from the time the sample was taken. For rapid antigen tests, the certificate at the border is valid for 24 hours, while in national use it is valid for 48 hours.
A certificate of primary vaccination (1/1, 2/2) is issued when no more than 270 days have passed since the last dose in the series.It can be requested by persons vaccinated with vaccines administered in one (1/1) or two doses (2/2), persons who have recovered from COVID-19 and have been vaccinated with one dose of a vaccine administered in one dose (1/1) or one dose of a vaccine administered in two doses (1/1).
As of February 1, it is no longer possible to request a primary vaccination certificate older than 270 days. Previously obtained certificates will continue to be valid for 365 days in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, but not for crossing the border. The above certificates can be requested from the day of vaccination with the last prescribed dose, but they are only valid for crossing the border. 14th day from the date of vaccination with the last prescribed dose.
In order to obtain a certificate of booster vaccination, it is important that no more than 365 days have passed since the last dose in the series. It is issued for all additional vaccinations after the primary vaccination has been completed. It is important to emphasize that in the EU system of digital COVID certificates recovery is not recognized as a booster dose in any case, whether the illness occurred before or after the vaccination.
Certificates issued based on the first dose of a two-dose vaccine are now valid only for use within the Republic of Croatia and, as of February 1st, they cannot cross the border.
