Question:
To ask the Minister of Health when people who have had two doses of a recognised vaccine, but of different vaccines, will be deemed as fully vaccinated for the purposes of entry into Northern Ireland.

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.
