Say, if you got the first shot with Covishield from AstraZeneca, you cannot get the second vaccine with Coronavac from Sinovac. You need to vaccinate the first and second times with vaccines from the same manufacturer. For example. , the AstraZeneca vaccine, even if it is produced at the facilities of different countries: either India, then South Korea, or European countries, is one and the same vaccine, “Stepanov wrote.
