Administer the Pfizer & Oxford vaccine how they have been approved and trialled
Do not mix the Pfizer vaccine with the Oxford vaccine or extend the time between 1st & 2nd doses without sufficient data to support the hypothesis that this is safe and effective.
Both vaccines should be administered how they have been approved and trialled.
The government are rescheduling appointments for 2nd Pfizer vaccine in order to vaccinate more people with their 1st dose. They will potentially administer an Oxford vaccine to those who have had their 1st Pfizer jab if there are no Pfizer jabs available. They assume that it is likely this second dose will boost immunity however there is no data to support that the two different vaccines will work together, be safe or cause a new mutation of covid which is resistant to our vaccines.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or House of Commons are directly responsible for, and decisions about approval of vaccines and the administration of these is a matter for various public health agencies, not the Government or House of Commons.
We have published the following petition calling for a related action, which you might like to sign:
Ban vaccines being administered in a manner not fully tested in clinical trials: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/566116
The delays to receiving the second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine has been implemented by the NHS following advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises UK health departments on immunisation, which has also been supported by the UK's four Chief Medical Officers. Their new advice and the changes to the Covid-19 vaccination programme are consistent with the temporary authorisations granted for these vaccines by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
The JCVI, Chief Medical Officers, MHRA and NHS England are all independent and operationally independent of the UK Government, so we cannot accept petitions calling for actions that these bodies are responsible for.
