The agent then paused for a moment and said "but you haven't had your second dose", to which I replied "the Janssen (Johnson&Johnson) vaccine is a single dose." She apologized for not being aware and printed my boarding pass.

Upon deplaning, we were met by German security who asked to see my ID, registration (as I am staying in Germany - not required for transit) and PCR test. I indicated I was fully vaccinated, showed them my (EU) Passport, proof of digital registration and my CDC card. They were looked over and I was permitted to proceed into the terminal.

(Apologies for the KLM details as I know this is a Lufthansa forum, but I thought most of my experience still relevant here).
Wow that was a fast response. Thank you! However, I am a US passport holder. Will that make any difference? Again, I am merely transiting Non-schengen to Non-schengen. I certainly wouldn't want to be stopped and held by security upon disembarkation. That would put quite a damper on my holiday.
