Mixing and Matching COVID-19 Vaccines Accelerates – PrecisionVaccinations

The journal Nature published an article on July 1, 2021, which says 'mixing COVID-19 vaccines is emerging as a good way to get people the protection they need when faced with safety concerns and unpredictable supplies.'

'Most vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 must be given in two doses, but multiple studies now back up the idea that mixing the OxfordAstraZeneca jab and the PfizerBioNTech vaccine triggers an immune response similar to or even stronger than two doses of either vaccine.'

'People can now feel a bit more comfortable with the idea of mix-and-match,' says immunologist Leif Erik Sander at Charit University Hospital in Berlin.

The results also give researchers confidence that combining other COVID-19 vaccines that havent yet been tested together might also work.

At least eighteen COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for use in variouscountries, and mix-and-match studies so far have been limited. This means,more extensive trials and long-term monitoring for side effects are sorely needed.
