UK mixing trials

[penni00]

I am wondering if anyone out there knows when we will see the results of the UK vaccine mixing trials where the dosing interval is 12 weeks?

I am thinking of mixing as I still have side effects from my AZ jab I had in March. I know the 4 week dosing interval showed an increase in side effects with the mixing, so I am concerned what happens with a 12 week dosing interval.

I thought perhaps, as with the 4 week trials, that a Mumsnetter might be participating in the 12 week trials, and therefore have an idea when the results will be published.

I am not in a trial but had the Pfizer vaccine 12 weeks after the AZ. I had no ill effects. Was slightly tired but nothing else. I had mild flu like symptoms after AZ.

I'm not in the trials because I don't live in the UK - but I have mixed AZ and Pfizer (8 week gap) as advised by our country's health board because it provides better protection than AZ alone (rather than because of any increased risk of clots). I was fully prepared for some awful side-effects after the Pfizer, but it honestly wasn't as bad or as long-lasting as the effects after the first AZ. I had minor inflammatory symptoms with both, like a bad cold really, but after AZ my arm hurt like hell for over a week, which was shit for typing and sleeping. So mixing jabs was well worth it for me.
