Unvaccinated travelers arriving from one of the epidemiologically low risk countries (green list of the Czech Republic), which includes Hungary, Poland and the Vatican, must register and provide a negative PCR test on arrival. Travelers vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency (Moderna, AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Janssen) are exempted from the entry requirements.
The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) reveals that the Czech Republic completely vaccinated 65.5% of its population, while 69.2% received the first dose of the vaccine.
