If you are double vaccinated are you ACTUALLY fully vaccinated?

We're looking at booking a holiday and the country I want to visit is accepting fully vaccinated adults. Brilliant! We both are double jabbed- myself with Pfizer and dp with AZ. Except their rules are that both doses had to be done within 3 weeks for Pfizer and mine were 11weeks 6days apart- the recommended interval here. And 12 weeks for AZ and dp's were 16 weeks apart (he couldn't get time off work so not the fault of the NHS)
So essentially for this country and I suspect others together, neither of us are fully vaccinated, nor can we get fully vaccinated.
My teenage and preteen kids are not vaccinated and I'm now wondering if it would be better for them in terms of future freedoms to not get them their first jab until I can also get them a second jab within the internationally recommended time slot. Obviously I know that's not the point of the vaccine and the health benefits outweigh travel benefits, but still AIBU to consider this given they have no underlying health problems?
What was your interval? Are you considered fully vaccinated?

@AmyDeirdre

No one gets their 2nd vaccine exactly 3 weeks after the first (Pfizer). I got mine after 3 weeks 5 days. My vaccine cert just gives the date of the second vaccine and that I'm fully vaccinated.
Is a vaccine certificate different to the NHS app covid pass? The app has dates of both jabs on mine. Is it an actual paper certificate?

That was from 1st October. Its supposed to be changing again, relaxing further, on November 1st, although it still hasn't been officially released yet. Hence why I was waiting for the next step confirmation

But that is the place you'll find the official info when it changes. The website you've linked to which has does intervals isn't anything to do with the Thai government. I think you're absolutely fine with your dose intervals as the official site doesn't mention them at all.

Does intervals should of course read dose intervals

Ah I see that now (that it's not an official website), thank you. I'll just have to wait and see then what happens on November 1st.

I wonder where that info came from originally though 🤷‍♀️

DP has emailed the thai embassy to see if they can clarify it.

Thanks everyone

My EU vaccine passport only has the date of my second vaccine on it. So it's not something that countries are checking or it would show both dates. I think you'll be fine.

It's an EU Digital Covid Vaccine Cert and only has the date of the 2nd dose.

Why don't you phone or email the Thai Embassy in the UK and ask them what the rules are? They'll be the most accurate source of information and able to clarify what you need for travel to Thailand.

I had the Johnson and Johnson one-shot deal. That was in April. Apparently after 6 months it’s not considered effective so I suppose mine had already “run out”.
