In Canada, many people got Pfizer as first dose and Moderna as 2nd. I'm curious to see the data on that. We also got our 2nd dose 2-4month after the first.

- adventured 5y agoAngela Merkel did one Astra dose in April and then one Moderna dose in June. It likely works quite fine. I've yet to see any data showing that mixing vaccines produces a particularly greater risk of a bad outcome. It did make me wonder why Merkel went with Moderna instead of BioNTech. I would assume she could have easily chosen either. Perhaps because Moderna was thought to be more potent by the June timeframe.
- zarzavat 5y agoIt may have been political. Germans are more likely to trust the BioNTech vaccine than the Moderna vaccine, so taking the Moderna vaccine sends the message that "All vaccines are good enough", which is the correct message if the intention is to maximise uptake of limited vaccine supplies. This was also probably the reason why she took the AstraZeneca vaccine in the first place.
