Travelling via Eurostar to France/Covid vaccine question

Hello forum

Can anyone please confirm what vaccination status is required to enter France as I'm really confused!

We booked out trip for August last night and we are traveling via Eurostar from London. Once we'd completed the booking, the site took us to a 'check you have the correct documents to travel' page and on it we have to select our vaccination status.

It says the following;

Entering France

To be considered fully vaccinated by the French authorities you must comply with the following.

If you are aged 18 or over, you must have:

received a COVID-19 vaccine booster, OR

had your primary vaccine dose(s) within the past 9 months.

Yet on the Government website and on another part of Eurostar website it says there are no restrictions and these were lifted in August 2022.

Both me and my husband have had two doses of the vaccine in 2021 but we haven't had boosters. I am reluctant to get a booster as well as we are also trying for a baby and when I had my previous doses, it really messed up my cycle (sorry if that's tmi!)

Just wondering if anyone who has been on the Eurostar to Paris recently can ease my concerns! I have emailed Eurostar to clarify but not sure when I'll hear back.

Thanks

    I'd say that's correct, even when I last crossed UK-France mid-July last year there was zero check.
