My reading is that there's nothing really solid and agreed out there that mixing is better if you're talking about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. If you're coming from AZ, then switching up to an mRNA seems to be beneficial.
Moderna seems to be marginally in front of the pack when it comes to jabs so I thought I'd go with 3 Aces, rather than a pair of Aces and a King
Hope so Robert, but I've heard Pfizer has knocked around some who had AZ previously. Oh well, at least my 5G will be up to date and I'm running low on nano-bots
Not so sure about that. Been reading that mixing MRNA’s produces slightly higher efficacy.
Nothing definitive that I could see and certainly nothing saying you shouldn't have the same vaccine for the boosters.
You’ll be right. I had zero side effects and everyone else I know, the same.
Second Pfizer dose creates a few side effects for some people but just one dose, doesn’t seem to do much.
Nah. That’s not right ie you should not get 3 x AZ. 2 x AZ and 1 x Pfizer or Moderna is the recommendation.
great tip Roar, will give that a go.Try pharmacy website. The government one doesn’t interact with the pharmacy one. I got appointment this morning (south road Bart chemist Moorabbin). Having spent some time reading Facebook memes I’m pretty surprised I haven’t spontaneously combusted whilst typing this out waiting my fifteen minutes.
I mean four immunisations inside a year. (Flu shot in April). Why am I still alive?

As I said earlier, when coming from AZ, yeah, there's some evidence that going for an mRNA makes sense. But when you've only had mRNA vaccines, there's nothing definitive.
Happy to view some interesting YouTube videos that you may have bookmarked.
It’s based on the extension of mixing first and second MRNA doses and the antibody response that is created.
Mixing vaccines boosts immune response; experimental saliva test nearly as accurate as PCR
The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review.
In the article below, there is now some preliminary evidence from a CDC report that a Moderna booster after 2 x Pfizer solicits a slightly higher antibody response albeit some uncertainty about the volume of dosage.

booked at local pharmacy on the 22nd. Cheers Roar!
Well Tassie has invited Covid in - rolled out the red carpet and all - 1 case within the first 12 hours, up to 3 now.
Doesn't help me much when my first two were Moderna.
But reading the links, that weren't paywalled, all back what I said. They are full of "might" or where they are more definitive, it's having an mRNA booster after getting AZ.
@spook, I had the Pfizer booster yesterday on top of my previous Astra shots, only issue so far was a needed a panadol in middle of night because my arm felt like it was going to drop off, ( I have always laughed and people complaining about a sore arm previously as you don't even feel the needle go in and never had anything but a mild ache, bit different this time but certainly nothing to worry about).
Non of the other symptoms so far and well enough to go and watch 150 minutes of training this morning

Well stop wasting time on this thread then and get your report up. Hurry up. Priorities.@spook, I had the Pfizer booster yesterday on top of my previous Astra shots, only issue so far was a needed a panadol in middle of night because my arm felt like it was going to drop off, ( I have always laughed and people complaining about a sore arm previously as you don't even feel the needle go in and never had anything but a mild ache, bit different this time but certainly nothing to worry about).

I left it to @TigerFlag2017 to do report today, may add some bits and pieces but agree with what he has posted.
Nice, moving up to Management and delegating to the minions.

Aah, I haven't had sore arms with the COVID shots, but I had a tetanus shot some years ago where my arm felt like a throbbing dead weight I could do without. Happens sometimes but usually only lasts a couple of days. Never say never, symptoms can be pretty random.
It does look like getting Pfizer or Moderna on top of AZ is a significant advantage, but the advantage of mixing the mRNA vaxxes is very minimal from what I have read. If anyone has a locked academic journal article they really want just cite it here.
I was thinking about waiting for the 6 month mark for the booster, but now thinking 5 months would be good. Mid Jan for me so I'll sort it out then.
