Japan is considering the ability to mix Astrazeneca vaccine with vaccines of other manufacturers to speed up vaccination.

I asked the Ministry of Health to comment on the use of Astrazeneca vaccine for the first nose and Pfizer vaccine for the second nose, or Astrazeneca for the head and Moderna for Nose Hai, Director of the National Vaccine Program Taro Kono National Taro

Nippon Airways airline staff injected Vaccine Moderna at Haneda Airport, Tokyo, June 14.

According to him, this can speed up the immunization deployment by shortening the waiting time between the two injections when using only Astrazeneca vaccine.

The previous Japan only used Vaccine Pfizer and Moderna but in July approving the Astrazeneca vaccine and ensured two million doses.

Japan's vaccination rate is currently lagging to other development countries.
