No, this isn’t necessary. If you have had your first AstraZeneca vaccine dose without any serious side
effects, you can receive your second dose as planned.
To ensure maximum long term immunity, it is important you receive two doses of the same COVID-19

On 16 June 2021, ATAGI reviewed their advice and advised that Comirnaty (Pfizer) is the preferred vaccine for people under the age of 60 years except in circumstances where the benefit is likely to outweigh risk and where informed consent has been obtained.
In people 60 years and over, ATAGI continue to advise that the benefit of vaccination with AstraZeneca COVID vaccine outweighs the risks associated with vaccination. This is due to the ongoing potential for COVID-19 outbreaks, the widespread susceptibility of the Australian population, and the strong relationship of severe COVID-19 and mortality with increasing age.
After receiving any vaccine, you may experience minor side effects. Most side effects are mild and last no more than a few days.
Common reactions to COVID-19 vaccinations include:
You can use the COVID-19 vaccine side effects symptom checker if you have concerns about any symptoms after your vaccine. The checker is also available through the National Coronavirus Helpline, 1800 020 080, 24 hours a day.
Please note, you will require two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer).
These will need to be at least 3 weeks apart.
When you book your first jab, you can also book an appointment at the same time for your second jab.
