German Consulate Canada statement : (Cominarty recognized but not Pfizer)
The vaccines listed on the website of the Paul Ehrlich Institute so far include only the vaccines named "Comirnaty," "COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna," "Vaxzevria," and "COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen." Sublicensed vaccines with other names or vaccines produced by the same manufacturer under a different name are not yet recognized
But it's canada dot diplo dot de. .....and then click on the covid-19 section.
It's just announced today
So that means no one fully vaccinated in Canada or any other country that only has the word "Pfizer BioNTech" will be recognized :'(

Also Pfizer-Biontech actually also sub-licensed the vaccine under the name "tozinameran", and one other (google it, there's a total of 3 sublicensed name of which Cominarty is 1 of them).
And that Consulate statement says "only Cominarty and no other Sublicensed name"
So if the Canadian receipt only says "PfizerBioNtech" ...that doesn't say if it's Cominarty or Tozinameran. That's 2 different sublicensed name. And Germany is only accepting one of them. Basically the worry is the receipt/certificate from Canada will be too ambiguous to be reconigzed for travel to Germany.

As you've already posted this in the proper forum for questions regarding entry requirements for Germany, namely the FT Germany forum, and as posting the same topic in multiple places - called cross-posting - is not permitted by FT Rules I've closed this thread.
