NIAC Advises Health Minister Covid Vaccines Can Be Mixed In Some Circumstances

The Government has approved the mixing of Covid vaccines in limited circumstances.

It comes as NIAC is due to advise on a potential vaccine booster campaign to start in September.

It said vaccine doses can be mixed in very limited circumstances - meaning a first dose of AstraZeneca could be followed by a second of Pfizer or Moderna.

It will only be in cases where someone had a reaction to dose one or has serious concerns about taking a second shot of the same vaccine.
