Latest & Good News on Italy Reevaluating Booster Validity

Corriere della Sera News is reporting (see link below) about the validity status of the Italian Super Green Pass (or functional equivalent - our CDC white card) based on the BOOSTER date. Looks like Italian Government is seriously thinking of setting OPEN-ENDED VALIDITY for those who have gotten the Booster, while leaving validity at six months for those who have only gotten a second shot.

Article says something to the effect that ONLY in the event that EU & Italian Health Organizations were to authorize a fourth shot (2nd booster) -- would the validity time period be revisited.

The article also notes that there are around 100,000 Italian super green passes which would expire early March with a six-month validity rule -- hence the need to make revisions quickly.

This really has my hopes up that an Italy trip this Spring/Summer could be a reality. See if you are reading this the same way I am. Hopefully, I'm not filtering through rose colored glasses!

Thanks, Christine H. I must have missed it. Hard to keep up with the fluidity of all this.

Thanks for posting this because I hadn’t continued to follow the thread Christine references. Our 3rd shot/booster falls in the middle of our planned tours, so this would be a fantastic development.
