Apologies for me not understanding either! I’m due to come over from England next week. I have had 2 + booster but my daughter aged 23 has only had 2 vaccines, last one being August. Does that mean she can’t come because she hasnt had the booster!

Effectively they are saying the full course lasts 270 days.  You need a booster if your last shot was more than 270 days ago and then it needs to be 14 days for that to take effect.
