In a bizzare incident in Bihar, India, a 84-year-old man has claimed that he has received 11 doses of COVID-19 vaccine so far.
He was caught before he could take his 12th dose. State health department officials have said that they have launched a probe into the matter.
- Brahamdev Mandal, who claims to have noted down the date and time of all the jabs, informed that he took his first shot at Puraini PHC on February 13, 2021. By September 24, he claimed to have taken vaccine nine times and that on January 4 this year he had taken his latest jab.
"I took the third jab on May 19, fourth on June 16 and fifth on July 24 and the tenth jab from SDH Kehalgaon. I have recieved 11 COVID-19 vaccines so far" claimed Mandal who added that he has not fallen ill since he started taking jabs.
Such a strange claim soon raised questions on the system regarding the registration process of a persion using ID proofs and the negligence of health department officials to verify the Vaccination process.
"Whether his claims are true or false is a matter of investigation. We will check the hospital records and take actions against the person involved in the matter if his claims are found to be true. CoWin doesn't allow multiple registrations using the same Aadhar number. We have initiated an investigation into the matter" ANI quoted Dr Amarendra Pratap Shahi, Civil Surgeon, Madhepura.
