Interesting stuff.
Lots of my friends in Canada got their first jab with Astra Zeneca, but their second shots are Moderna or Pfizer. Hear the same thing is going on in Europe as well.
Seems that studies are showing that getting the second dose from the same company is not as critical as first thought when the vaccines came out.
One of my friends has some auto immune issues, and got AZ as soon as it was available. She's enrolled in a study to follow people who were vaccinated for a longer term. One interesting (but not fun) thing is that she said once she started developing symptoms of the auto immune disorder (they don't know what it is right now), she no longer showed any of the vaccination 'markers' for her prior vaccines for things like MMR or shingles. And all her titers for chicken pox are negative, despite having a very severe case of them when she was young. So they're following her to see what happens.
