The answer I was looking for is whether or not you need the full 2 weeks of wait time from your final dosage of vaccine before being able to get a green code. Obviously nothing is clearly laid out by China but I saw a few tidbits of info that insinuated YES you do.
So I will likely get the JJ vaccine since it is a single dosage and I can clear the “fUlLY vAcCiNaTeD” status when I apply for GHC. Apparently China views the moderna, Pfizer, and JJ as equivalent even though they probably aren’t.
Again, as indicated in my earlier post, this is just one data point:
1. I took two shots of Sino-Vac, and applied and received pre-approval from a Chinese consulate in the US (to return to China) before l left China for the US.
2. I took my second shot of Pfizer 7 days before I took all the required Covid tests as required by the Chinese Consulate (at the city where the direct flight originated), and received the Green Code 8 days after the second shot of Pfizer. I took my flight to China 9 days after taking the second Pfizer shot.
As I indicated in my earlier post, I was rejected pre-approval earlier this year, so I stayed put in China, After getting Sino-Vac shots, and I reapplied, and received the pre-approval and I left China and stayed two wonderful summer months back home in the US. Now I just completed my 14-day quarantine in Shanghai and ready to go back to work.
It is just personal opinion here, basing "what ifs" scenario with no certainty how thing will turn out to choose between JJ or Pfizer is something I would not consider.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. It saves all the hassles and uncertainties and all the "what ifs" considerations.
