To ensure the vaccine rollout in the UK does not prove a logistical nightmare, policymakers have considered mixing and matching vaccines to smoothen the process. While this makes sense logistically, it may also serve a scientific purpose. As immunologist Professor Danny Altmann explained on ITV's This Morning, it has been suggested that mix and matching can enhance immunity.

Referring to the possibility of combining vaccines, he said there is "no reason on earth why you can't".

"On other hand you might drive your GP mad if you ask for it because the current guidance says to not combine vaccines," Professor Altmann joked.

However, as he explained, there is no scientific basis for not discussing the possibility.

In fact, the very possibility is being actively studied by researchers in the UK.
