For Asia voyages, a recovery is only accepted in conjunction with a single Johnson & Johnson vaccination; all other vaccines must also have been given with a recovery twice. The recovery status is not recognized in Japan, so vaccination-only travel is accepted. Accepted vaccines are all EMA approved vaccines such as Comirnaty/BioNtech/Pfizer, Spikevax/Moderna, COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen/Johnson & Johnson, Vaxzevria from AstraZeneca, Novavax, Covaxin/BBV152 (Bharat Biotech), Covilo (Sinopharm) and CoronaVac (Sinovac); cross-vaccination is also possible according to RKI. The complete vaccination status must be presented by means of the COVID certificate of the EU and must be carried on the entire trip and during each shore leave.
