Mix-and-match Approach To Vaccination

Booster programmes have been initiated, or are underway, across the world. In Nepal too, the programme has been going on for the last few weeks. Frontliners, those above sixty and those with a compromised immune system, are receiving booster shots now. It was believed until a few months ago that a person should receive vaccine doses – first, second and booster doses – of the same type. However, for reasons like supply constraints, a mix-and-match approach has been adopted. As per WHO and other guidelines, the government has announced the Covishield vaccine as the common booster jab for those who have received any vaccine, whether Covishield, Vero Cell, Johnson and Johnson or Pfizer.
