U.K. study to test giving doses of two different COVID vaccines Caitlin O Kane © Jae C. Hong / AP Virus Outbreak Congress Letter A new vaccine trial is underway in the U.K. to test whether mixing and matching different COVID-19 vaccines for the first and second doses is effective, BBC News reports. The country is currently using the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, which both require two doses. For the study, run by the National Immunisation Schedule Evaluation Consortium, patients will get one dose of each. The trial will involve 800 volunteers, age 50 or older, who haven t received a COVID-19 vaccine yet. They will receive their two vaccine doses as usual, four or 12 weeks apart, but one will be the Oxford shot and the other will be the Pfizer shot. If regulators approve other vaccines for use, they may be added to the study.

Congressman tests positive for COVID after receiving second vaccine dose Grace Segers © Jae C. Hong / AP Virus Outbreak Congress Letter Congressman Stephen Lynch, a Democrat from Massachusetts, tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine earlier this month. Lynch is one of several members of Congress who have tested positive for the virus in recent weeks. A spokesperson for Lynch said in a statement that his positive test result came after a staffer in his Boston office tested positive. Congressman Lynch had received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine and subsequently received a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending President Biden s Inauguration, said Molly Rose Tarpey, Lynch s communications director. While Mr. Lynch remains asymptomatic and feels fine, he will self-quarantine and will vote by proxy in Congress during the coming week.
