A study by Oxford University researchers on ‘mixing’ different coronavirus vaccines showed that combining a first dose of AstraZeneca with a second dose of Moderna or Novavax provided higher immunity compared to two doses of AstraZeneca.
- People vaccinated with different vaccines have a better immune response
- According to British researchers, mixing vaccines does not pose a health risk
- The high effectiveness of vaccine “blends” is good news for poorer countries, which may have a problem with accessibility

In a study by scientists at the University of Oxford on mixing coronavirus vaccines 1070 volunteers took part. The aim of the study was to show that the “mix” of vaccines is not significantly worse than the standard regimens. Ultimately, scientists proved that the vaccinated people had better immune response when they received their first injection of AstraZeneca or Pfizer / BioNTech and then received Moderna or Novavax.
COVID-19 vaccines «mixtures» do not pose a health risk
The study also showed that a dose of Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine followed by Moderna vaccine gave better immunity than two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
According to a study by the University of Oxford, published in the medical journal Lancet, no concerns were raised regarding the safety of mixing vaccines.
Many countries started using “blended” vaccines long before the data became available. This was due to the rapidly increasing number of infections, supply shortages and the slow pace of vaccination.

Mixing COVID-19 Vaccines. Good news for poor countries
New reports give some hope to poor countries and middle-income ones who may need to combine vaccines from different vendors between the first and second doses if stocks run out or supplies become unstable.
According to the researchers, if a Moderny or Novavax vaccine is given after AstraZeneki vaccine, higher levels of antibodies and T-cell responses will later be recorded compared to two doses of AstraZeneca.
