Malaysia is looking into mixing two different Covid-19 vaccines to get better protection against coronavirus variants, according to Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
The country has received data from Germany where the Astrazeneca vaccine was used for the first dose and was followed by the Pfizer-BioNtech shot, Khairy said. A paper on this method, known as heterologous boost, has been presented to the national vaccination committee, he added.
