Just wanted to verify that we no longer need to fill the SpTH form to get a QR code to enter Spain.
Let me know if you have been to Spain in the last 10 days.

Hi - the Spanish Ministry of Health website says that they no longer require this - here's the info directly from the site:
As of Tuesday 20 September 2022, the Spain Travel Health (SpTH) portal, both the website and the mobile applications, will no longer be operational. It will NO LONGER be necessary to fill in the health control form to travel to Spain NOR to present the SpTH QR code when boarding or at the arrival airport.

We are traveling Oct. 30.
We got our vaccines in May 2021 & haven't gotten a booster.
Does anyone know... Are they still checking vaccine cards? Anything new?

A booster is required. Your airline will ask for proof of vaccination and booster prior to boarding in the US.

Hoping to leave for Spain Friday or Saturday ... had my 2 shots then a booster on Jan 4 ... based on the following from the US Embassy site I think I am ok ... or do I need another booster since it has been more than 270 since the first one?
Vaccines are valid from 14 days after the last dose up to 270 days. If more than 270 days (9 months) have passed since receiving the last required dose of their COVID-19 vaccine, U.S. citizens must show proof of having received a booster shot. The booster shot certificate is valid since the day it was administered.
Update: Found out that if you didn't get a booster, you have 270 days from the 2nd shot or else you need a negative test ... once you get a booster, there is no time limit so you're good to go.
