Has anyone had two different vaccines

Hi I’m looking for help about this please thank you

I have not. I have only had one Pfizer thus far. However, they are currently researching, and have preliminary findings showing that mixing the mRNA vaccines may actually bolster immune response. I’ll see if I can track down the info again and post it here.

I’m interested in this as I had my first jab of Astra Zeneca and reacted terribly whilst at the centre and had a horrible flare up and was poorly after, so wondering if I can mix it up or take my chancing I won’t react so badly second time around

Yes, I have. I had the Oxford AZ vaccine at the end of January and experienced a severe allergic reaction within 10 mins of the jab (swollen face, tongue, high heart rate and BP, fine rash over torso and face.) Then had the usual flue like symptoms for 48 hours followed by a flare lasting several weeks. It was decided that I should have the Pfizer vaccine as the 2nd dose which I had at the beginning of April with no reaction at all. Hope this helps.

Why do you wish to mix and match?

My son did by accident! 🙄 Had Pfizer first time (no reaction) and AZ second (fever and feeling unwell for couple of days). Don’t think it does any harm but probably best to stick to one unless you had very bad reaction to your first and need to change? X
