About to book a trip to Japan for work, curious is anyone has had any issue with vaccination approval when they have less than 3 doses because the Janssen dose counts as 2 (see here: https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/border_vaccine.html) - it clearly states

For the JCOVDEN intramuscular injection/Janssen and CONVIDECIA/CanSino Biologics only in case of primary series, one dose is considered equivalent to two doses.
I only have my 1 primary Janssen dose and will either need to get a booster or just do the pre-departure test. If don't want to bother with the booster if I'm going to need to end up getting 2 boosters because that little footnote isn't closely observed / followed.... anyone dealt with a similar situation?

Thank you in advance!
