Exemption for those who have been fully vaccinated
If you are fully vaccinated and have the documents to prove that then you do not have to complete mandatory hotel quarantine when you come to Ireland. Any dependents travelling with you, including children, will also be exempted from the requirement to complete mandatory hotel quarantine.
However, if even you are fully vaccinated, you still have to have a negative pre-departure PCR test and complete a period of self-quarantine at home or wherever you specified in your passenger locator form.
| Type of vaccine | You are regarded as fully vaccinated after |
| Pfizer-BioNtech | 7 days after 2nd dose |
| Moderna | 14 days after 2nd dose |
| Oxford-AstraZeneca | 15 days after 2nd dose |
| Johnson & Johnson/Janssen | 14 days after single dose |
