to choose fully vaccinated or unvaccinated day 2 PCR tests for my children?

I'm not sure whether it's me overthinking things but I don't know what day 2 PCR tests to choose for my 13 and 8 year old children for when we return from France to the UK? I'm going to get them from Randox but you have to choose whether you want a 'fully vaccinated' day 2 PCR test or an 'unvaccinated' one. My 13 year old has only had one dose of vaccine (all they can have a the moment in the UK) so is she considered fully vaccinated or not? She's certainly not unvaccinated but isn't 'fully' vaccinated either! Does it actually matter which test we get as long as it's a day 2 PCR test? Why do Randox make the distinction? Is it just a 'status' thing or does it make a difference to the testing process? My 8 year is unvaccinated but now I'm wondering whether she's considered fully vaccinated under UK vaccine status guidance because she's under 18 and travelling with fully vaccinated parents? My head is fried and I need to order soon - no reply from Randox yet and can't get through on their phone line and not in their FAQ section. Can anyone help?

I haven't had to pick one yet but we will have to as we have some travel coming up... I think kids would be "unvaccinated"

I can’t be certain but unvaccinated adults have to quarantine for ten days and need additional tests so I wonder if it’s to do with that as opposed to the tests being different
