Finnish citizens now only need the first vaccination to get on a Finnair plane. 

Because from May 11, 2021, the carrier will accept proof of a Covid vaccination as an alternative to the previously required negative PCR test result as the basis for the transport. The only requirement is that the first vaccine has been administered at least 21 days before departure. In addition, children 16 years of age no longer have to present a health certificate. Finnair announced today. 

“The vaccinations have proven themselves in combating the Covid-19 pandemic. Evidence of vaccinations will play a key role in drawing up the EU's Digital Green Certificate to gradually restore our normality, ”said Kimmo Ketola, Medical Director at the airline. Old regulations remain in place, a negative PCR test result or evidence of a previous illness are also accepted.
