#followthescience! STOP mixing COVID vaccines/START following Pfizer guidelines
1. STOP permitting the mixing of two different COVID-19 vaccines; and
2. START following the manufacturer's tested and approved spacing of jabs. In the case of the Pfizer vaccine, stop permitting any dosing schedule other than the 21 days recommended, AND TESTED, by the manufacturer.
1. The Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines have not been developed NOR TESTED on the basis that they can be used interchangeably.
2. On 30 December 2020, Pfizer released a statement saying that its vaccine was not intended to be taken 12 weeks apart. It said the vaccine's SAFETY and EFFICACY had not been evaluated on any dosing schedule OTHER THAN 21 DAYS between jabs. It added that "there are NO DATA to demonstrate that protection after the first dose is sustained after 21 days."

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.
