Available for over a year

A new trial is about to start in the UK, seeing if different vaccines can be mixed and matched in a two-dose schedule. Governments want to know the answer as vaccines are in short supply. Oxford University vaccinologist Matthew Snape explains how mixing vaccines has been shown to boost the immune response in mice. (Image: Women holding two syringes, Credit: Getty Images.)
