Mine just passed that day limit, so will I and my spouse (U.S. citizen with the same issue with the 270 days) be allowed to transit? We always make sure to get an antigen test prior whether required or not.
It might be pertinent information to share that I have also a citizenship in another EEA nation, and in any case that appears to provide an exception for myself as well as my spouse (proof of family relationship required). Are we going to have an issue with transit, unless we rush to get boosted now (at least 14 days prior)???
I've just ploughed through various bits and pieces on the German foreign/health ministry sites and can't find a reference to the 270 day limit or to boosters, though I know it has been talked about and applies in some other EU countries. Have you got a link? On this site it specifically mentions "at least two doses" but nothing about boosters (noting that if you had the J&J vaccine you would need to have had a second dose of another vaccine in order to count as fully vaccinated):

Are you transiting to another Schengen country, i.e. entering Schengen in Germany?
