WHEN DID PEOPLE STARTED CLAIMING THIS?
PEOPLE STARTING CLAIMING THAT MIXING 2 VACCINES WOULD INCREASE IT’S EFFICACY AGAINST COVID-19. A RECENT RESEARCH CLAIMED THAT GIVING THE PFIZER VACCINE SHOT AFTER A COVISHIELD VACCINE SHOT INCREASED THE NUMBER OF ANTIBODIES PRODUCED BY INOCULATING 2 COVISHIELD VACCINES.
SO AFTER HEARING THIS NEWS, DID SOME COUNTRIES ACTUALLY STARTED MIXING 2 COVID-19 VACCINES?
Yes, some countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy and the UAE have allowed mixing of 2 vaccines together.
WHAT DO SCIENTISTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS MATTER?
ACCORDING TO SCIENCE, MIXING 2 COVID-19 VACCINES IS SOMETIMES FINE. LIKE :-
THE OXFORD-ASTRAZENECA VACCINE WAS TAKEN FIRST IN THE SPANISH CombivacS TRIAL. 663 PEOPLE HAD TAKEN THIS TRIAL. WHEN THEY FIRST TOOK THE OXFORD-ASTRAZENECA VACCINE, THEY DEVELOPED SOME IMMUNITY. AFTER THAT, THE Pfizer-BioNTech VACCINE BOOSTED THEIR IMMUNITY AS THEY WERE MAKING WAY MORE ANTIBODIES THAN THEY DID BY THE OXFORD-ASTRAZENECA VACCINE. WHEN THE ANTIBODIES WERE TESTED IN THE LABORATORIES, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ANTIBODIES FORMED AFTER BOTH THE VACCINE SHOTS WERE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE AND INACTIVATE SARS-CoV-2 WHILE THE PARTICIPANTS WHO DIDN’T TAKE A BOOSTER SHOT HAD EXPERIENCED NO CHANGE IN THE ANTIBODY LEVELS.
SO MIXING 2 COVID-19 VACCINES IS ACTUALLY SAFE AND BOOSTS YOUR IMMUNITY MORE THAN THAT IT WOULD IF YOU TOOK 2 DOSES OF THE SAME COVID-19 VACCINE.
