Covid vaccine(split)

[Finney 0]

I have a question about the 2 shot COVID vaccinations. 

My wife (beneficiary) used to live in a different country, where she recieved the WHO approved 1-shot Sinovac vaccine. 

Does she need to have two doses of another vaccine?  We recently got DQed but no interview schedule as of yet, will there even be enough time to get two shots of a different vaccine?  Would a booster be sufficient?

~~Off Topic post split off to its own thread. Please start new thread for questions about your own case. The other thread is for interview updates~~
