With the ongoing Covid pandemic, creating havoc across the globe, all the countries are focusing on vaccinating the people with the doses and ramping up the process to finish the clinical trials and permit new vaccines to increase the vaccine stock.

On the other hand, researchers and scientists are also focusing on exploring ways to increase the immune response by mixing two different vaccine doses. By doing so, the efficacy of the doses increases largely, the researchers said.

As part of this, the Research at the famous Oxford University suggested that mixing the Covishield Vaccine with the Pfizer dose does wonders for the beneficiaries.

Besides mixing two different vaccine doses, the researchers have also advised increasing the gap between the doses. If the gap between the doses is increased to 44-45 weeks from 8-12 weeks, which is being followed currently, the antibodies will increase by around four times.

To derive the research details, the researchers have examined the antibody levels of the people, who were administered the vaccine doses with a more gap than the gap between the two doses that are followed currently.

Adding further, the researchers have also advised that after taking the second dose of the vaccine, giving the third dose, a booster dose will increase the efficacy of the doses and neutralizes the variants of the Coronavirus.
