Researchers in Britain are looking at whether it's safe to combine two different vaccines.

The shots from Pfizer and AstraZeneca are being evaluated.

The study will include a first dose of Pfizer's vaccine and then a booster of AstraZeneca's and vice versa.

Researchers also plan to include other vaccines as they get approved.

Recruitment for participants gets underway today. Results are expected by summer.
