The German Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) has reportedly recommended that people who receive AstraZeneca vaccine, known as Covishield in India, as their first jab, should get either Pfizer or Moderna for their booster vaccination as the mixing of two different vaccines will augment immune responses against the virus.The committee further suggested that the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine be administered four weeks or more after the first AstraZeneca jab, which is shorter than the nine or more weeks that the committee advises between two AstraZeneca vaccine shots.This announcement made Germany one of the first countries to recommend mixing doses, even as a recent study by the University of Oxford revealed that alternating doses of AstraZeneca vaccine and Pfizer-BioNTech generate more “robust immune responses” against coronavirus.
