Covid diagnostic tests in Spain for unvaccinated minors

 Need a Covid diagnostic tests in Spain for unvaccinated minors for traveling? We offer you official certificates for minors. Spain is a country that attracts millions of tourists every year, mostly people from bordering countries such as France, UK, Portugal and many other EU countries. Nowadays, being vaccinated against Covid-19 or coronavirus has become a mandatory requirement for travel.

This has caused some inconvenience for family travel or travel with minors, as vaccination schedules were initially authorised for those over 18 years of age. In this case, parents, grandparents, or the adult responsible for the minor, could travel because they have their corresponding vaccine doses, but what about minors?

Diagnostic tests for unvaccinated minors 

Depending on the destination, the country may or may not homologate the health status of the responsible adult with that of the child. Thus, if the adult is fully vaccinated, then quarantine or testing requirements will apply to both. 

In countries where this is not the case, they are requiring a covid diagnostic test (RT-PCR or antigens) for minors. In this case, for example, if you travel from Spain to Germany with an unvaccinated minor, because Spain is considered a high-risk area, this minor would need to undergo an RT-PCR test to enter the country.

Timing of the results of the different tests

Whether the child will need an RT-PCR or a rapid antigen test depends – as mentioned above – on the restrictions of each country; in this case, for parents or guardians who need to schedule the test, the results of an RT-PCR test in Spain can take up to 24 hours and of a rapid antigen test between 1-2 hours.

Can a minor have a Covid passport?

Yes, when the responsible adult attends the laboratory or testing center with the minor, he/she should ask the staff to provide the result/certificate in the EU Covid-19 certificate format. This way you can present it wherever it is needed. 

Currently countries such as France and Belgium have implemented the EU Covid Certificate as a mandatory requirement for access to leisure and tourism venues. Therefore, if it is impossible or decided not to vaccinate the child, this certificate becomes essential for family leisure activities.
