I recently received the AstraZeneca vaccine. I have read reports that medical researchers are experimenting by giving people different Covid-19 vaccines to see if that approach is more effective against Covid-19 than just giving a person one type of vaccine. I have serious doubts that the AstraZeneca vaccine is effective, especially against the variants. If the opportunity presents itself, should I take one of the other vaccines too? Perhaps a healthcare professional here can advise me.
Should I Do This?

DONT! Don’t do it. It can be extremely unhealthy to overdose on any type of medication, which this is.
Plus you and others have no idea how double dosing with another different vaccine could effect you.
it would be so dangerous in my non-medical opinion.

I'm waiting for FSA approval before I take the needle. However Astra is not an American company and is a direct competitor of Phizer and Moderna so the American FDA could be in a conflict of interest.
As for your question, DON"T DO IT without consulting your doctor first.

Could mixing COVID vaccines boost immune response? (nature.com)
I'm not a doctor.
IMO it is feasible if you are younger and have no underlying health issues.
A vaccine is just to prompt an immune response.
All so far seem to be over 50% effective or greater.
So at least as effective as the flu vaccine.
All seem to have side effects in a small number of the population, some more publicized/fatal/significant than others.
If you are young or had covid already, one vaccine should be sufficient as a booster.
If older or have underlying health issues best to stay on the side of caution, always consulting a doctor before every move.
One has to remember the vaccine is not a guarantee or magic bullet.
Your immune response and overall health play greater roles.
One has to remember how quickly these vaccines came to market.
Profit motives and bragging rights are high right now, compared to/under the guise of the greater good.
We can only go on what the makers tell us and take it as "truth" whether it is or not.
Like a first year production vehicle it's hard to know all there is to know about them.

We do have some real life experience with these vaccines now plus they were tested before they were released into the wild.
Since Moderna and Pfizer are both mRNA vaccines targeting the spike, there was some talk that first shot with one, booster with other might work.
I am not sure combining the others makes a lot of sense.
I'm hoping by the time I get mine the J&J is on tap because I am lazy and would like to do this in one shot.
