Enter France from Canada with just a antigen test?
I will be traveling from Canada to Paris. Can I enter with just a <48hour Antigen test (not a PCR test)? I am double vaccinated as required by Canada but France requires a booster not older than 9months, mine will be 11months. I prefer not to get any more booster shots if I can help it...
Also, after a day in days in Paris I will be flying direct to Poland. All covid restrictions are lifted in Poland. Will I be allowed into the CDG airport from Paris without a booster to catch my flight to Poland?
Thank you.

I believe you're incorrect.
For ALL France purposes, including immigration, boosters NEVER expire. So far.
The reference to 9 months is the time limit for getting a booster, I believe. If you google the topic, the first headline that comes up is this: ""One reader has incorrectly read that a person is no longer considered fully vaccinated nine months after getting a top-up vaccine dose. We explain the rules." Don't take my word for it. Google "Do Covid boosters expire in France?" and see what comes up.
Note, however, that in some countries, boosters do expire. I haven't looked at Poland.
Oh, and you most certainly do NOT need a covid test if you're fully vaccinated (i.e., three shots of an EU-approved vaccine such as Moderna) from a Green country such as Canada or the US.

But I understand OP did not have a booster. He/she just had the 2 initial injections.And I don't think anyone has a 11 month old booster (yet). This is howI understand OP's post, but I am not 100% sure.
