English term or phrase: 21 days from the date of vaccination the pet should be eligible for entry into E
Does [from] refers to the past or the future?
As an example, if the entry date is October 31st, when should the vaccination take place?
Many thanks

Selected answer:vaccination must be given any time BEFORE 10 October for entry on 31st
Explanation:
Isabel has already given the correct answer in Dbox in French but none here in English

So you must count 21 days from the date of the vaccination to the entry date. The day the vaccination is given is often NOT counted as a day so it really needs to be given on 9th, at the latest, for entry on 31st

Yes, I'm sure:-)

You literally add 21 days FROM the day the vaccination is given

so vaccination given on 9th October + 21 days =30th October (or 31st if the day of vacination is not counted as a day). So entry should be valid on 31st.
As I said, it's better to be cautious and not count the day of vaccination as day included in 21-day count.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Davis: I think you're right that to be on the safe side it should be before, not on, the 10th, so neither the day of vaccination nor the day of entry are included in the 21 days.
1 hr
  -> Many thanks:-)//Yes, personally I would get it done on the 8th or before as the day of entry may not be acceptable as a count day either.
agree  Maïté Mendiondo-George

  -> Many thanks:-)
agree  Tina Vonhof (X): Answer to asker's question: 'from' means 'after' in this context, so the 21 days are inthe future.
2 hrs
  -> Many thanks:-) (Talking of past and future would be more confusing in the context I think. Best to count from 1 date to the other)
