Answer
The policy for recognising two different vaccines for the purposes of international travel was introduced on 4 October 2021.
Where two doses of vaccine are required to complete a full course, a mix of two different types of vaccine, for example Oxford/Astra Zeneca, Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna, from a relevant public health body is acceptable in order to qualify as fully vaccinated.
