The Saferestart appointment undoubtedly believes they are giving you your first shot.

You should have received (or should receive) an appointment for your second shot from the same provider that gave you the first shot. If has been the appropriate number of days (21 or 28) then I would attempt to contact them to ask when and where you should report for that second shot.

Earlier this month there was some discussion about whether the vaccines could be mixed. I don't remember the exact details but the general feeling was that they shouldn't be mixed unless there was no other choice. I suspect there are studies going on now to determine whether a booster from the other vaccine would be effective.
