COVID-19 vaccination is becoming a compulsion in various
countries of the world. Where taking two doses of the vaccine is widely advised
by almost all the companies involved in the manufacturing of COVID-19 vaccines,
a man from New Zealand took more than the required jabs of the vaccine.
A very shocking incident took place recently in New
Zealand where a man took 10 shots of the COVID vaccine in just 10 hours. The
reason behind the man getting 10 doses is still not known. After the
authorities took note of the incident, the Health Ministry of New Zealand
ordered a detailed investigation of the case.
According to some sources, the person visited numerous
vaccination centers in 24 hours and was paid for each shot of the vaccine.
According to experts, taking more than the required doses
of a vaccine can be lethal and pose serious threats to life.
“The ministry has been informed and we are taking this
matter very seriously. This is a very worrying situation and we are in contact
with many agencies.” said the Ministry of Health's COVID-19 Vaccine and
Immunization Program in New Zealand's Group Manager.
In the view of Professor Nikki Turner from the University
of Auckland, even though there is no availability of data concerning the
overdose of the COVID vaccine, that many doses of a vaccine can never be good
for a human body.

She further added, "It's definitely not right. We do
not have any evidence that what kind of side effects a person will face after
taking an overdose of this vaccine. This is not a safe practice, and has put
the person at risk.”
Further, authorities of New Zealand advised the residents
to see a doctor immediately in case they have taken an overdose of the vaccine.
