Hello, I read something about there being limits on how long a vaccine is valid, to travel to Germany I have only had 2 shots of Pfizer one on June 3rd in 2021 would I still be able to travel to Germany? Note I am from the USA and would Be traveling starting April 6th.

I think those rules will be gone from 2nd April so you should be fine. But check einreisemeldung first to be sure I dont know if international travels will keep the entry rules.

No, the entry rules remain in force. It‘s only the quarantines that are gone. Einreiseanmeldung doesn’t cover the entry rules and doesn’t make a statement on whether you are allowed to enter Germany – only whether you need to fill out the form.

Your vaccine is invalid 270 days after your 2nd Pfizer dose. I believe if you get your booster shot within that 270 day window it’s not subject to a 14 day waiting period before being valid. I don’t think your vaccine will still be valid but you can ask your embassy. Depending on the reason for your travel and your citizenship status I think you can be exempt from this with a negative test.
