Is 'fully vaccinated' three doses + 14 days?

[CarpyDiem]

Trying to work out both what is legal and what is sensible!

NHS website says that household contacts who are over 18 years 6months and who are fully vaccinated do not neeed to isolate. Does that mean 2 or 3 shots?

(I'm sure that must have been covered before, but I can't find the answer!)

But, a household contact could be incubating it. So even if it is legal to meet people, when is it sensible to resume close contact with others?

2 shots is fully vaccinated.

2 doses.

The booster is just that. A bonus as it were.

2 doses + 14 days

2 for ‘standard’ people
3 for immunosuppressed (who will get a 4th as their booster)

Thanks!

If someone has a newly tested household member, and is not legally required to isolate, when does it become less risky for them to be indoors/close with people? Not the legal requirement, but when the chances of them being infectious from their known exposure will have ebbed significantly?

2 doses for the purposes of contact isolation.

I've tested positive 2-3 weeks after my booster. It's presenting as a mainstream cold.

DH and the DCs are continuing to go out, but minimising close contact situations, e.g. not meeting people, going out to open spaces, drive thru rather than eat-in easier than usual being the holidays.

DS tested positive two weeks ago, which was just over 5 months after my 2nd jab. The T&T told me I was fully vaccinated and didn’t need to isolate whilst advising daily lateral flows.

2 doses, I haven't had booster yet and was a close contact last week, I filled out the online T&T form and it said I do not have to isolate.

Anecdotally most people appear to be developing symptoms within 7 days of a close contact, so if 7 days have passed without the person developing symptoms I think you could say they were lower risk. 10 days would be safer still. 14 days would be very safe indeed. I believe Hong Kong imposes a 21 day isolation period on returning travellers...

Not scientific also but I would say day 7/8 with negative lateral flow means the risk is quite low. But under the old system it was 10 days so that would be safest.
