Indian pensioner illegally vaccinated 12 times

84, illegally gets himself jabbed TWELVE times in India
because he 'wanted to feel stronger and get rid of his joint
pain' - and says he's not even caught a cold since
(https://bit.ly/3qwusVS). A pensioner in India illegally had
twelve Covid-19 jabs in less than a year before being caught
by the police. Brahamdev Mandal had the dozen vaccines in
just 11 months, and even had two within half an hour of each
other on the same day.
The 84-year-old said he wanted to feel stronger during the
pandemic, and claimed the multiple jabs rid him of his joint
pain he has had for eight years. The serial-vaxxer was able to
sign up for extra jabs by using different people's ID and lying
to health officials, and is now facing a string of charges.
Two doses of Covid-19 vaccines are required for adults in most
countries to be considered 'fully vaccinated,' with a third
'booster' jab becoming more common in order to enhance
immunity that decreases over time.
Some countries, such as Austria, have also begun rolling out
fourth doses to specific groups, such as healthcare workers,
while Turkey has offered a fifth.
However, twelve doses is unheard of and not recommended by
health bodies. Mr Mandal, a former postman, has been accused
of a string of offences by police in the village of Orai, in Bihar,
India where he lives. Officials have launched an investigation into
how he was able to abuse the system. Puraini police station officer
Deepak Chandra Das said Mr Mandal was booked under sections
188, 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code respectively.
However, the accused may get leniency due to his age.
Amongst his jabs Mandal got two vaccines inside 30 minutes on
the same day at Puraini health facility on April 13 last year.
Mr Mandal bragged: 'I have taken vaccines and I recommend
everyone to take them.
'It's quite beneficial. The government has taken an incredible step,
as it helps back pains too, you should take it. 'My oxygen level has
improved and I haven't caught a cold since getting a jab.'
He claimed he got nine of the jabs using his own ID card. Speaking
to the BBC, Mr Mandal said he travelled to various vaccination
camps across the Madhepura district and even to at least two
neighbouring districts.
One, he said, was more than 62 miles away.
