Has anyone looked at the impact of having three doses of a vaccine? Or the impact of having both the Pfizer and the Astra-Zenica vaccine over a period of months?

I did hear that someone in Australia overdosed some people by 4x the correct dose but the outcome doesn't appear to have made the news as yet.

I suspect that it'd be similar to someone getting one or two doses, then getting exposed to someone infected - the vaccines have different mechanisms, but are both targeting the same spike protein, so the end result should be the same.

Of course, real life doesn't care what I think, and biological processes are complicated.

That makes sense as a working hypothesis.

And we won't have any data on the effect of a 12 week gap on overall protection from week 15 onwards because I don't think anyone in the UK will have had their second dose yet. Or not many and them only very recently.
