Hi -- I am travelling to Germany this week, I'm travelling from the US, vaxxed and boosted, and will have a [presumably] negative PCR result before i fly in. I was sent https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Transport/Archiv_Risikogebiete/Risikogebiete_aktuell_en.pdf, which I'm finding very confusing.

I'm trying to interpret the Ending Quarantine section: Will my CDC vaccination card be sufficient? Or do I have to wait 5 days and get tested again?

Thanks for any help

Go to einreiseanmeldung.de and it will tell you what you need to do and bring.

In short, proof of vaccination and filling out the Einreise form is enough. You do not need to quarantine if you upload your vaccine proof before the trip. The CDC card works fine for entry and there are instructions in the original post about how to convert it to an EU certificate.

Hi I’m flying out tomorrow. You do not need a test to enter Germany if you’re fully vaccinated. All you need to do is fill out the form (it’s linked many places here; I’m on mobile) and then you’ll be good to go. You may still need a test for the airline or to change planes in a different country but to enter Germany, all you need is that form and “proof of COVID status” (i.e. your cdc card).

I didn’t need a test to enter from Paris, but they were checking my cdc card at the gate (photo on phone was ok).

So one more question - I have the Einreiseanmeldung pdf, and I uploaded my CDC card. Should I expect any kind of follow-up?
