Londres. La Universidad de Oxford anunció este jueves la puesta en marcha de un estudio para determinar si la combinación de dos dosis de diferentes vacunas contra la covid-19 en un mismo paciente sigue siendo eficaz para protegerle contra la enfermedad.

"Si descubrimos que estas vacunas pueden usarse indistintamente, esto aumentará considerablemente la flexibilidad de su distribución", afirmó en un comunicado el profesor Matthew Snape, investigador de Oxford y responsable del ensayo.
