Episode notes

Vaccines work in a whole bunch of different ways, and they do different things in your immune system. We're still having to really learn about how thisll works, yes. What works for one vaccine may not work for another vaccine. But it's good that there are still ways to tinker and play and get something slightly better.

The science behind how and when to give vaccines doses.

As vaccines are rolled out, massive logistical challenges are leading scientists and policymakers to consider alternative dosing strategies.

But what does the science say? In this week’s episode of Coronapod, we discuss mixing and matching vaccines and lengthening the time between doses. Approaches like these could ease logistical concerns, but we ask what's known about their impact on vaccine efficacy – what is the science behind the decisions, and could they actually boost immune responses?
