Maharajganj: Aman in Maharajganj district of Uttar Pradesh was allegedly administered shots of two different Covid vaccines. "I was given one dose of Covaxin and the other of Covishield," he said. The man, Umesh, works as a driver for the Chief Development Officer (CDO), Maharajganj, Gaurav Singh Sogarwal.
Three people who work as drivers for CDO -- Chandan Kushwaha, Umesh and Ardali Madan -- went to a district hospital to get the second dose of vaccine. Umesh, who had received Covaxin shots for the first dose, was administered Covishield vaccine instead of Covaxin. The other two - Chandan and Ardali -- were not given the second dose after the incident came to light.
Chief Medical Officer (CMO) AK Srivastava clarified that no side effect has been seen due to the mixup. "However, this incident should not have happened and all the health workers have been instructed to give second dose of the same vaccine [beneficiaries were] administered before," he added.
The incident was reported at a time when trials are going on to ascertain whether the mixing of vaccines could benefit patients. Several reports suggest that a different second dose could help build better immunity against the virus.

Researchers will be looking for adverse reactions and the immune system responses to these new combinations of vaccines. The trial is not designed to show if the vaccines are effective at preventing disease and the University of Oxford has said the intent of the study is to show that mixing is not substantially worse than not mixing.
