to fret re travel if Covid vaccinations were more than 6 months ago

I am travelling to France and USA this summer. I know that travel PCR's have been dropped.
But adults have to be vaccinated in order to travel... and I am worried that if you were vaccinated more than 6 months / 182 days ago that this might not count.
I can't find anything online that definitively addresses this. Does any vaccination, no matter how long ago, still count?
Could someone please reassure me?

I'm going to the US next week! As far as I can tell it's just being "fully vaccinated" that matters, I've not found anywhere to say it needs to be within a certain date. I know some countries required boosters to be within 180 days, but as far as I can see that isn't the case for the US. I have had two primary doses and should be fine to travel.

The latest advice for France is here.https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/france/entry-requirements
Looks as if the time limit is 9 months for France after the first 2 doses, but you are OK if you have had a booster.

Think there is no expiry if you've had the booster. Some countries may say only 2 vaccinations are necessary but others only count you as fully vaccinated if you've had all 3.

MrszClaus is correct about the USA, in that there's no "within a certain date" - and from 12 June they scrapped the need to test before going too

It's also true that having a booster restarts the clock on the EU's timescale, but if anyone had it last October, for example, it's pushing things pretty close to the wire for this summer

This is the France info:

For travellers aged 18 and over, France will recognise you as ‘vaccinated’ for entry purposes if you completed your initial vaccine course within the last 9 months. If more than 9 months have elapsed since your initial course, and you have not since received a booster, you will be considered unvaccinated and must follow the rules detailed below. Travellers under 18 years old do not require a booster for entry to France.

USA doesn't seem to require a booster
