As long as you remain classified as a visitor you adhere to the rules regarding boosters accepted in your own country. As soon as you become resident in France (for these purposes after 3 months continuous residence) then you adhere to the French rules. This means that, if your animal has passed the 1 year period (French rules) before or during your 'becoming resident' stay you must make sure you get a booster done in France before the end of the 3 month 'becoming resident' period - that is, while you are still within the UK rules period - you should not then need any blood teast or 6 months wait. You then have your animal vaccinated every year & no further blood tests or waits are necessary .I do not think this is made clear in any of the info you receive about Pet Passports but hope it is of some use to people. The motto is, 'if in doubt get a jab'.By the way, the French vaccinate every year because they have found that blood tests on animals tested between 2 & 3 years after the vaccination have little or no immunity left despite the fact that the vaccine is supposed to last 3 years.
I find you post a little confusing (my Bold)
Are you referring to UK pets already passported, successfully blood tested more that six months ago, or pets taken to France that are vacinated but might not have had blood tests and 6 months wait ?
