No worries, they or another pharmacy will happily issue a new one and bill the German government for another €18

Yes, it makes sense, but the official website and news reports only talk about the certificate (singular).

I found a pharmacy newsletter that mentioned that it is one QR code for each shot. And in the meantime I validated my app’s QR codes with the official German check app, and the digital pass is valid. Scanning the QR code for shot 1 of 2 results in an error indicating that it isn’t proof of full vaccination.
I also used the digital code via app IRL, at a hospital. Seems I was there first one ever to show up with it judging by the looks on their faces. And they just looked at the QR code and the name and DOB shown in the app. No validation via a scan app. No ID check. Oh well
