Asking because to enter France you have to have had a shot in the last nine months, but I will be over the nine months when I want to travel, and there's no sign of the spring booster being available to everyone.
The gov UK website says if you've had 2 vaccinations and a booster, you're considered good to go by the French regardless of when you had the booster; it's only if you've not yet had a booster, that your #2 jab has to be within the 9 months.
