Is taking 2 covid vaccines safe? (4 doses total)
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi, I am a 55 year old male, and I received both doses of the Sinopharm vaccine. My job requires travel, but my home country does not "recognize" Sinopharm, and will not permit me to re-enter unless I take a vaccine from their approved list (Pfizer). The time frame would be:
12 Dec 2020 - 1st Sinopharm dose (taken- no side effects)
mid Jan 2021 - 2nd Sinopharm dose (taken- no side effects)
24 Apr 2021 - 1st Pfizer dose (yet to be taken)
15 May 2021 - 2nd Pfizer dose (yet to be taken)
Would there be any obvious issues/risks with going forward with this plan? (I have heard there would be increased risk of blood clotting)
Would waiting 6 months between my 2nd Sinopharm and 1st Pfizer dose mitigate side-effects?
Thank you.

I wouldn’t do that unless I consulted with more than one doctor. There is still the unknown factor with these vaccines and to double them could be risky. Especially since they are different vaccines. Consult an infectious disease doctor for at least one of them.ask that question in others you may have. Better safe than sorry.

its over kill since both vaccines do basically the same thing. I wouldn't advise it. It could cancel the effects of either vaccine working. Its not been tested for that so no one knows what can happen.
