Morocco Mandates COVID Booster for International Travel

Any Moroccan wishing to travel abroad must compulsorily take the 3rd dose of the anti-Covid vaccine, if the second dose (or the single dose of the J&J vaccine) dates back more than 4 months, according to the Ministry of Health.

In anticipation of the reopening of borders, the authorities are gradually revealing the details of the health protocol to be respected to access or leave the national territory.

The Health Department also specified that for people who have not received a booster dose and who have recently recovered from Covid-19, the 3rd dose can only be administered after 4 weeks (28 days) from the date of infection.

Thus, these people can leave the territory with their old vaccination pass accompanied by a certificate of recovery or a negative PCR test, in addition to the result of the PCR or Rapid Antigen Test documenting the last infection.

Regarding access to the national territory, the ministry specifies that only the negative result of a PCR test less than 48 hours old will be required for children under 18 years of age. For children under 6 years of age, no access condition is applied.
