It appears to be manifestly stupid.
In Germany it has been quite common to mix the vaccines so this will definitely cause an issue. I’m not certain how the British Government will view a booster shot either for people that have had mixed vaccines . I’ve no idea why the British government views mixed vaccines in this way? As I understand it the quarantine rules for mixed vaccines have been applied in England but not in Scotland as of yet.
