Q: if a covid-19 vaccine is administered incorrectly can you receive another vaccine?

: It is difficult to imagine any kind of incorrect administration that would reduce vaccine effectiveness. Discuss with your doctor: if s/he agrees there is a risk of poor response to the vaccine, you should first have a blood test to check whether the vaccine worked and you are immune.
