I have watched him before, thanks for the tip. I love youtube travel.

Thank you Russ! This is so helpful. We don't speak French but our French son-in-law can certainly help us, and our daughter who has become quite fluent in French can help as well.

Russ, Thanks so much for this! What did they use for "Other Lots"? We don't have lot numbers.

To clarify the above, I somehow lost my CDC card (I know!!!!) so I obtained an FL Shots Immunization History from the FL Department of Health that shows I received both doses of Moderna. There are no lot numbers on that. Of course, I'm very worried that France will balk at accepting this as proof and can't get answers from anyone. And, we have one train segment in our trip towards the end, so hopefully I can find a pharmacy to help with the bar code before that. Just so much to worry about.

Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t help you there, but you might want to check with your airline to make sure they will accept your paperwork. Anything outside the norm is going to questioned (and possibly rejected). Hope it all works out for you!

Barefiootbeach, you've likely already considered this, but in case not....
For a copy, can you return to where you received your vaccinations? That place (clinic, pharmacy, etc)should have its own record that shows your vaccine's lot numbers and expiration dates.
Good luck!

Russ, first of all, I'm so grateful for your post that alerted me to the complexities of the pass and secondly, that Lot #'s existed!
CaliNurse, I re-contacted the FL Health Dept about the lack of lot #'s on my print out...which also surprised her. She was able to send me a different printout that did have the lot numbers listed.
As I still share your belief that anything out of the ordinary (like my printout instead of a CDC card) is likely to be rejected by bureaucracies, and with the extreme rise in cases of the Delta variant that might close borders, and the possibility that we vaccinated could be symptomatic yet test positive, it was with great disappointment that I cancelled my flights, all the inns and restaurant reservations I made. Au Revoir, Normandy & Brittany...perhaps in the spring. One more trip down the drain. I know this is a first world problem, but still.....

I can down load the text, but cannot find the “work around” page needed to show the pharmacist. Thank You Billy Walik

At cafés, restaurants, museums and cinemas, not to mention trains, you will not be dealing with "bureaucracies" -- you will be dealing with completely untrained people who never dreamed that they would suddenly have to check health passes in addition to their normal work. This is sure to make enforcement very spotty with some people very easy to convince if your document is a bit dubious and a few who will revel in the sudden power that they have to lord it over you.

yestravel

exactly! Going to make it hard to know where you can get into for tourists.

. . . . but not the ones with the EU pass sanitaire (and they are the vast majority of the foreign tourists in Paris for the moment -- mostly Germans and Benelux)..

Sorry for the rest of you, but you are probably extremely happy to have priority in your own countries.

These are the tips below. Just copy and paste into a blank document and print them for the pharmacist:

Astuce : au moment où le professionnel de santé vous demandera votre code postal, dites-lui de saisir « 99 » puis de sélectionner Etats-Unis dans la liste des pays. Il lui faudra sélectionner la rubrique « Autres lots » dans le menu déroulant au moment de saisir vos numéros de lot. En moins de 5 minutes, il sera capable d’imprimer une feuille avec le QR Code.

Its just telling them how to choose a non-French country and how to enter the vaccine lot numbers.

This is from The Local -- a touch complicated! https://www.thelocal.fr/20210804/exp...LcsHvJwf0TWwuM

I am vaccinated and sent my information in yesterday, Aug. 10 for departure from the US on Sept. 25. to this website (the same information as yestravel posted): https://franceintheus.org/spip.php?a...G2rMpMW_T_KtfE

I received an automated email this morning saying they'd process it as soon as possible and for me to be patient. Although it says that it applies to people traveling prior to August 15, other Americans departing after the 15th have had success obtaining a QR code after submitting their documents on this site. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'll post here either way as to my success - or not.

yestravel

We sent my husbands info in yesterday afternoon and he got a return that it was received. Sent mine last night and still have not gotten any return email that it was rec'd.
Ellen -- look forward to hearing your success (hopefully!)

Macross

eurocheapo guy said he went to the French embassy in DC and got his. They were issued blue wristbands to travel on trains after showing the code in Paris at train station.

yestravel

thanks! Living in DC that would be easy. I’ll wait a couple weeks and see what happens.

ellen75005

My guess is that so many people have heard about it and have submitted their documentation that they're swamped. I hope that's it, anyway. No email for me as of this morning, two days after submission. I'm still optimistic that I'll receive it.
