Mix and Match of the COVID-19 Vaccine for Safety and Immunogenicity

For dose 1 and 2, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) are two dose vaccines which were studied in schedules of either 0 and 21 days or 0 and 28 days, respectively. The ChAdOx1 nCOV-19 (Astra-Zeneca) adenovirus-vectored vaccine is authorized to be given in two doses one month to 12 weeks apart. We will compare the interval 0, 28 days to a 0, 112 days (16 weeks) schedule, and assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous second doses using the Canadian schedule. For dose 3, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) and plant-based virus-like particle (Medicago Covifenz) are anticipated to be administered 6 months apart. We will assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous third doses using the Canadian schedule. For dose 4, the currently available mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Moderna mRNA-1273) and plant-based virus-like particle (Medicago Covifenz) are anticipated to be administered 3 months apart. We will assess the immunogenicity of both heterogeneous and heterologous third doses using the Canadian schedule.
