I have had my two double COVID vaccination for when I go to Spain in June but I think the person who give me the second vaccine when I went on New Year's Eve given me the 1st one again as I have just noticed now, she give me the same one as the first vaccine, that can't be right can it? should it not be a different vaccine? it states on my COVID pass on my NHS app the following for both vaccines: Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. I am bit confused! I am 35 years old if that makes any difference.
Any advice would be great thank you.

Receiving two doses of the same vaccine is, if not 100% standard practice, then very common, although when you get the booster that may well be a different one.0

Perfectly normal. All 3 of mine have been Pfizer.
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.1 -

100% correct. Unless there is a medical reason, all second vaccines are the same as the first throughout the UK.
Boosters will be Pfizer or Half dose Moderna, irrespective of what vaccine was used for the first 2, unless someone can’t tolerate an mRNA vaccine.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I believe that all boosters are either Pfizer or Moderna for most people.💙💛 💔0 -

The UK has a lot more Pfizer doses available than Moderna, so most people who had Pfizer for the first two doses, will get the same again.
