Has anyone tried to get a US CDC vaccine card validated at a Frankfurt airport pharmacy? There seems to be a possibility of doing this according to https://www.frankfurt-airport.com/en...alth-care.html It looks like there’s one near gate Z13 which I think is in the non Schnengan zone.
according to the interactive map on the Lufthansa app there is a pharmacy between gates Z11 and Z13 on the non-Schengen departure / US arrival level.

I just went to the pharmacy. There is one airside at the Z gates and one in B (which I believe is landside). The pharmacy staff told me that you need to be a german resident or have german health insurance in order to get a vaccine passport, so they were not able to give me one.

You'd likely have better luck at a pharmacy around town, unless they clamped down on CDC cards. It's also suggested here that locations near US military bases can be more receptive to CDC card holders.

I got an EU digital COVID cert from France. I've not found a way to get it transferred to my Android based mobile phone, Verizon is the carrier. Will a printed copy work for entry into places that require one?

A printed copy is fine. If you want to load it on a german app that people recognize, find the 'Corona-Warn' app in the google play store. You can scan in the certificate there. The french 'tousAntiCovid' app also works to store and show the QR code.

1. install f-droid App Store (for open source apps) - https://f-droid.org
2. In f-droid search for the open source fork of the official Corona Warn App . It’s called “Corona Contact Tracing Germany”. Install that.
3. use the Corona Contact Tracing Germany app to scan your QRs.

Do you have a link -- I'm not seeing it on my US Pixel 5. The only RKI app I see is "STIKO" -- which seems to be for doctors...

I'm traveling to Germany from the UK next week and hope to get the vaccine certificate situation sorted. I downloaded Corona-Warn but it's not recognizing the barcode on my NHS vaccination certificate. (I used the NHS certificate that's valid for travel and am sure I was scanning the QR code for the second dose.) However, I've been able to scan the NHS code and generate a certificate in TousAntiCovid. Will the French app be recognized in and around Frankfurt/Mainz or do I need to carry a paper copy of my NHS certificate or figure out how to download CovPass once I arrive and find a pharmacy to update it?

Restaurants give the pass/cert (in any shape) a quick glance. There is no verification by scanning it like in France.
