Covid -19 vaccinations
Sir/Madam,
Please advise if taking two doses of different type of vaccines is better than taking two doses of same type of vaccine.
I have read in Newspapers that after taking Ist dose of Covishield, one should take Covaxin as second dose.
Please guide me.

Both doses shoukd be taken of same brand. Brand mixing is not recomended at all as mechanism of action are different.
