“Probably in the near future, I think this will be a good advantage in countries where vaccines are limited. Mixing and matching would be a very good strategy to get the population vaccinated.” An AstraZeneca shot followed by Pfizer produced the best T-cell responses and higher antibody response, the study published on the Lancet read.Vega said the Philippines is still dependent on clinical trials done by the World Health Organization, but once a clear recommendation has been released by the agency, he believes that it would also be adopted by the national vaccination implementation.
