A man who was vaccinated against Covid-19 up to 10 times in one day on behalf of other people has been called "unbelievably selfish" and sparked an investigation. Astrid Koornneef, group manager operations for the Covid-19 vaccine and immunisation programme, said the Ministry of Health was aware of the issue and taking the matter very seriously. Petousis-Harris said the man who took multiple doses of the Covid-19 vaccine is unlikely to come to any serious harm, but likely to feel crap the next day from a general immune response. But Petousis-Harris said receiving multiple doses of the Covid-19 vaccine is not ideal, saying when people get given higher doses, they get more fever, pains and headaches. Koornneef said people who have had more vaccine doses than recommended should seek clinical advice as soon as practicable.
