Trial Summary
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on immunosuppressant medication or continuous anticoagulants, you may not be eligible to participate.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment BNT162b2, ChAdOx1-S [recombinant], Covifenz, mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine?
Research shows that using different COVID-19 vaccines together, like ChAdOx1-S and BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273, can lead to stronger immune responses compared to using the same vaccine for both doses. This approach may also help overcome vaccine shortages and improve protection against the virus.12345
Is it safe to mix and match COVID-19 vaccines like ChAdOx1-S, BNT162b2, and mRNA-1273?
Mixing COVID-19 vaccines like ChAdOx1-S, BNT162b2, and mRNA-1273 has been generally safe, with no serious adverse events reported in studies. Some mild side effects may occur, but these are similar to those seen with standard vaccine schedules.12467
How is the Mix and Match COVID-19 Vaccines treatment different from other COVID-19 vaccine treatments?
The Mix and Match COVID-19 Vaccines treatment is unique because it uses a combination of different vaccine types, such as adenoviral vector vaccines (like ChAdOx1-S) and mRNA vaccines (like BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273), to potentially enhance immune response and address vaccine shortages. This approach, known as heterologous vaccination, may lead to stronger immunity compared to using the same vaccine type for all doses.13489
What is the purpose of this trial?
The main goals of this study are to assess the immune response and safety of two different vaccines for first, second, third and fourth doses as well as for differing intervals between the first and second dose of two-dose vaccines.
