When you get two doses of the corona vaccine, the health authorities said that you can get a vaccine from a different company. As a result, 760,000 people who received the AstraZeneca vaccine two months ago will receive the Pfizer vaccine in their second dose.



The preventive effect and safety of such cross-inoculation will also be reported by Yoo Seung-hyun, a medical reporter.

Those who will receive the Pfizer vaccine for the second dose in July will receive the AstraZeneca vaccine in mid-April.



There are 760,000 people, including clinic-level workers, chronic kidney disease patients, and visiting care workers.



This is because the supply of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which was scheduled to be imported at the end of June, has been delayed since July.



However, you can get the same AstraZeneca vaccine if you wish.



In this case, it is possible from the fourth week of July.



[Jung Eun-kyung/Director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: It has been decided that cross-inoculation can be performed by matching the vaccination interval of the primary vaccine.] In the



UK, only when the same vaccine is insufficient, Germany, France, Canada, etc. Vaccination is allowed.



It is based on the research result that stability was verified when cross-inoculation and immunity increased.



In the UK, when cross-vaccinating with AstraZeneca and Pfizer, there were a few more minor side effects than when receiving the same vaccine, but there were no serious adverse reactions.



In a German study, systemic adverse events were rather low when cross-vaccinated.



In another German study, AstraZeneca and Pfizer cross doses were more immune than two doses of AstraZeneca.



A cross-inoculation clinical trial is currently underway in Korea, and the scope of cross-applicability may be expanded depending on the results.



Health authorities also decided to decide whether to vaccinate 12-17 years old and pregnant women through research services.
