Weather of Arabia - A New Zealand man put his life at risk after receiving 10 doses of the anti-Coronavirus vaccine when he impersonated other people and visited many vaccination centers to receive the 10 doses in one day.

 

And local media reported that the man was paid for taking doses of the vaccine on behalf of other people, impersonating them, and health officials warned that the man put his life at risk by receiving vaccine doses from others.

 

Astrid Kornev, director of the Ministry of Health's Vaccines and Immunization Program, was quoted by the New Zealand Herald as saying that "impersonating another person and receiving medical treatment for them is dangerous." "This puts at risk the person receiving the vaccination with an assumed identity as well as the person whose health record will show that they were vaccinated when they did not."

 

 

How dangerous is an overdose of the vaccine?

Helen Petosis-Harris, a vaccination specialist at the University of Auckland, said the studies did not cover such excessive doses, so it was difficult to predict what might happen to someone who got 10 vaccinations in one day.

 

Graham Le Gross, director of the Malagan Institute and an immunologist, said the act was "ridiculous and dangerous". And that "a man is unlikely to die from 10 doses, but receiving too many doses may mean that the vaccine is not working well."

 

Le Gros added that those who receive vaccines on behalf of other people "are not making themselves safer, and they are certainly fools if they think they are helping others, they are people who need to receive the vaccine to be safer."

 

In New Zealand, people do not have to show their identity when receiving the vaccine, and many companies and facilities in the country use a local vaccination certificate that allows only fully vaccinated people to access these places.

 

New Zealand has a population of 5 million, the country has reported about 12,500 cases and 46 deaths since the start of the pandemic, and about 89% of the population has been fully vaccinated.
