I got an updated Geneva certificate today in <24h using a valid Marriott booking (had an earlier one which did not reflect 3/3 for booster).

I recently found a portal listed on Berlin gov site that lists pharmacies able to issue covid digital certificates, and seems it also lists pharmacies in other areas. Might be worth a search to see if any pop up: https://www.mein-apothekenmanager.de/

I applied on the Geneva site with one from Booking.com.

They were all fully refundable... bad luck I guess. Maybe try the other site, but they know your data so you might be blacklisted from the system...
does geneva operate differently? why is there a different site, that doesnt charge 30 chf. i mean i am not complaining...

Yes. This site is known. Unfortunately, listing on the site does not guarantee the pharmacy can/will convert your CDC certificate to EU. The FRA location of Metropolitan Apotheke was listed on this site back when I visited in October, yet did not perform the conversion. Still, IMO, it's a good site to find an apotheke near a military base with US personnel. That's how I ended up in Kaiserslautern and had success.

I went to many of those places listed recently and the ones that I went to only did them for people that lived in Germany but got vaccinated abroad, except for one. It's funny, each pharmacy repeatedly told me it was absolutely not possible for foreign tourists to get a EU certificate at a pharmacy. Was about to give up, go back to BER airport and just do it there for 10 euros based on a previous post above but luckily found one last pharmacy that had no issues in doing it and knew exactly what to do.

now that i think
with all the hassle and time and uncertainties involved, 30 chf is a small price to pay to get it done from home...
train and uber fare in germany will probably cost more than that..

For those that have gotten their EU covid certificate recently, have you only gotten one QR code to scan showing your last vaccine dose? I saw some comments earlier that people were getting a separate QR code for each dose of the vaccine they received to upload into the app. When I got my certificate, I only got one QR code showing "dose 3/3". Is that all you need at this point?

When I did it in Hamburg I received two paper QR codes, ne for each dose I had had up to that point. I had to load both into the app in order to get a valid "vaccinated" message from it. Those two are now over 270 days ago and my 3rd does has not been loaded in so the app no longer shows me as vaccinated.

When did you get that certificate? Yeah I found it strange that I only got one QR code as well. However I've checked it with a scanner app and it lists as "fully vaccinated" so i guess it's good to go. I do not plan on bringing my CDC card with me, so important that my EU certificate works properly lol.

IIRC I got my two EU certificates last July. The digital certificate expired 270 days from my 2nd dse.

I applied for the Geneva certificate on 2/4 and received a confirmation number that it was received. Not a word since then, which is now more than 7 days. i have not received a denied email so maybe I should still be hopeful.

Are there so many people with applications now that they are taking more than 7 days. I saw a less than 24 hour turnaround upthread so that is why I am worried I have not heard anything.

Nor sure what the next step should be other than just wait?

Give them a call and ask. There are several reports in this thread of people calling and being able to get their application reviewed and approved.
