Good to know: A calendar worksheet for the standard primary-vaccination waiting period, reviewed November 11, 2026. Requires a vet-confirmed valid vaccination completed at age 12 weeks or older and identification/microchipping before vaccination. Uses completion date, not necessarily the first injection in a course. Some origins require an antibody test plus a three-month wait; this tool does not cover those routes, young-animal exceptions, vaccine validity/expiry, boosters, health certificates, entry points, ownership/commercial rules, tapeworm treatment or airline rules. A completed wait is not permission to travel. Ask your vet and destination authority for your exact route.
How to use it (step by step)
- 1Have your vet confirm this route uses the standard 21-day wait and the vaccination is valid, including microchip timing.
- 2Enter birth date, the completed primary vaccination date recorded by your vet, and your proposed travel date.
- 3Read whether the standard wait is complete. Check all other entry conditions with the destination authority before booking.
