State Minister for COVID Prevention Dr. Sudharshini Fernandopulle today (20) stated in Parliament that the Government will not allow a mix of vaccination brands for the first and second doses.
She informed Parliament that the vaccine brands cannot be mixed as per the existing guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).
However, she said that it is not certain if the process may change in the future.
She went on to say that if an individual had been administered with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine as the first jab, that person will receive the same vaccine brand for the second jab.
State Minister Fernandopulle revealed this when responding to a question raised by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa on whether the Chinese manufactured Sinopharm vaccine would be provided as the second dose, due to a lack of AstraZeneca vaccine stocks at present.
