Vaccinated for Turkey?

Hi what does fully vaccinated mean for Turkey how many doses? I've had 2 doses not the booster please advise?

Fully vaccinated is two doses with 14 days since the second dose. Doesn’t seem to be a time limit and you don’t seem to need the booster. 

It’s all here. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey/entry-requirements

Hi this does not state how many does, some people are telling me fully vaccinated means 3 doses??

So why not get the booster, if you travel beyond 14 days ahead?

Does anyone know for sure about full vaccinated for Turkey? Do not want to discuss Booster.

I'm hoping its only 2 doses however need to know for sure before I book an all inclusive trip to Antalya, my friends went recently and tbh they said no-one really checked there....

It says 'At least 14 days must have passed since your second dose of the vaccine' and that you need a 'full course'. A full course of vaccines is two doses. The NHS website makes this clear and it says 'A full course is currently two doses of the Moderna, AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine, or one dose of the Janssen single-dose vaccine.T

The booster is an extra and some countries (not Turkey) demand it where more than 270 days have elapsed since the second vaccine. This doesn't apply to Turkey and two vaccines is sufficient.

If 'people' are telling you that three doses is a full course, then they are wrong. Personally I'd rather go on official guidelines than 'friends' who are 'experts'!
