[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2371972, member: 216415"] Maybe they mean 2 vaccinations, or the wording is provision for the future. [I]Currently, [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/priority-groups-for-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-advice-from-the-jcvi-30-december-2020/joint-committee-on-vaccination-and-immunisation-advice-on-priority-groups-for-covid-19-vaccination-30-december-2020']official guidance[/URL] from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) says anyone already given the Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca jab as part of the UK's approved immunisation programme should get the same vaccine for both doses. There is no suggestion this will change, although in very rare circumstances [URL='https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/955548/Greenbook_chapter_14a_v6.pdf']a different vaccine can be used[/URL] - if only one vaccine is available, or it's not known which was given for the first dose. Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi said the government's taskforce had given about £7m to fund the study, but that findings would not be available until the summer and therefore "at the moment, we're not changing anything at all".
