I suppose they are hoping they can. I mean when the Pfizer vaccine costs approx £10 a shot and the Oxford vaccine is just under a £2 a shot... it’s obvious that they're hoping it’s ok to do so.

Many people have been given their second appointment but it seems they had the Oxford vaccination.

I believe it's quite normal to wait for 12 weeks.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
I'm not entirely happy about this mixing of vaccines to be honest. I'm all for them, and can't wait for mine, but I'm not quite sure why they feel the need to mix them, unless its to get more people covered. I would rather wait and get both the same, than get two different ones closer together I think.05-02-2021, 09:53 PM

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
According to the radio this morning Australia has 120 million doses of vaccine on order, enough for at least 60 million people.Australia has a population of 25 million so the surplus is going as foreign aid to countries that can't afford it. The idea is that international travel cannot resume until everyone in every country is vaccinated.
Also somebody calculated that to achieve the aim of every Australian being vaccinated by October will mean 200000 vaccinations every day.
Having said that only the Pfizer vaccine is approved for use in this country. The delay on the AZ vaccine is because of the lack of data on its effectiveness on people over 50 years. I don't know what is happening with the Novavax approval.
