I hope this tweet helps more people getting vaccinated. The problem started when politics & the media gave them names like apples & oranges & told the public which tasted better & had more vitamins. Which one clotted & which one didnt. Thats the problem.Just call them vaccines.

In Germany, we have successfully used Vaxzevria as first dose and mRNA as second dose (for under-60s with official recommendation after Vaxzevria first dose). Studies show that this combination has the best immunogenicity. This would allow efficient use of all vaccines.

But the risk of TTS is with the first dose not the second dose of Vaxzevria (AZ). So it doesn't solve that problem.
