so it would not be a bright idea to get one from one company, and another from a different one.

What has not been made clear is the exact timing needed for the two doses. That's going to be huge. Just how much leeway is there?

With Shingrix, the shingles vaccine, the window of time for the second vaccine is any time between 2 and 6 months after the first one.

Somehow, I have a feeling that the Covid vaccines won't be as forgiving.

Something else that has just barely been mentioned is side effects. Apparently some of them have pretty severe side effects.
