Travel insurance - Covid cover when only 2 of 3 vaccines taken

Does anyone know where I can get insurance with covid cover when the booster vaccination has not yet been taken?  Trying to book for my teenage son.
Thanks :)

    I didn't think that travel insurance required mandatory full vaccinated status. Policy cost may be adjusted to reflect any additional risk .

    For cover for covid some do require  that the full course has been had. 
    You also need to check entry requirements for the country he is visiting.

    I had hoped to buy covid cover in case there are any problems while he is away.  I've checked 4 policies so far and buried in the small print they have all said you need the full course of vaccines to be covered.  These take a long time to go through so I was hoping someone might already know.  He's apparently fine in terms of entry requirements (according to him!)

    How do they define 'full course of vaccines'?  This doesn't necessarily include one or more boosters, in terms of those having the original two generally being regarded as fully vaccinated within entry requirements, although EU countries impose a 270 day expiry of those original ones if unboosted....

    That's a good point. To be fair it doesn't say whether it is 2 or 3 - I'm just assuming the worst case scenario.  I have tried to ring one of them but needless to say still waiting to hear back after 3 hours.
