Many people now, when they come to the vaccination, ask for the vaccine to be changed to the third dose. It is especially recommended for people with immune problems or chronic diseases, i.e. where we know that the response may be weaker, it is worth thinking about it to change the preparation – said Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski, pediatrician, immunologist and expert of the Supreme Medical Council for COVID- 19, who was today a guest of Bartosz Węglarczyk in the program “Onet Rano.”.
We have – for at least three months – good information on the so-called mixed schemas. It means that if someone was vaccinated twice with Pfizer’s preparation, he may think about changing the vaccine to another of the same technology. e.g. Moderny. If someone has received two doses of Moderna, they may consider taking Pfizer. These are not big differences in the immune response, but if something can be done better, it is worth taking advantage of it – explained Grzesiowski.

As the doctor added, people vaccinated with AstraZeneka or Johnson can also switch to mRNA vaccines, i.e. Pfizer or Moderna. “Someone who has had a single dose of Johnson can take a second dose of Johnson, this vaccine is licensed, but this rarely happens because the immune score is weaker than taking Pfizer or Moderna.” Someone vaccinated with Johnson or Astra in the spring of 2021 would do well to change their vaccine to Pfizer or Moderna. These regimens are safe, of course, the decision whether a change can be made is made by the doctor or the qualifying person, but as a rule, a mixed regimen is more effective than a homogeneous regimen, i.e. all doses of the same vaccine – he explained in an interview with the editor-in-chief of TvoiLokony.
