Will the new findings on mixing vaccines change how people get their jabs right now? ITV News Health Editor Emily Morgan explains
'Mixing and matching' doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines generates a 'robust' immune response, a new study suggests.
The research, undertaken by the University of Oxford, found that using Pfizer followed by the AstraZeneca vaccine produced high concentrations of antibodies.
Antibodies offer protection against illnesses.
It is hoped the findings could help vaccination programmes around the world by allowing people to get whatever jab is available, rather than waiting for a match.
